TASS news agency reports, that Kremlin denies any possibility of a deal with the United States on a new referendum in Crimea in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.
According Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, that is out of the question.
On March 11, 2014, the legislatures of Crimea and Sevastopol voted for a declaration on the independence from Ukraine of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.
