American officials realize that they misjudged Mr. Putin and are working to predict his next move, the senior official said. "We have misread Putin. He is
not going to give up," the official said.
In Berlin, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said he would call for a "graduated approach" when EU foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Monday
to consider sanctions against Russia. His top priority, he said, wasn't to halt Russia's annexation of Crimea but to prevent a wider conflict.

"We should not raise too much hope that the developments in Crimea can be reversed quickly," Mr. Steinmeier said. "It is now our task…to make sure that this

In Crimea, the referendum results appeared a foregone conclusion as soon as plans for the vote were announced.
