The opportunity for a diplomatic solution to the Crimean problem still exists, U.S. President Barack Obama has said.

"I believe there's still a path to resolve this situation diplomatically in a way that addresses the interest of both Russia and Ukraine," he said at the White House on Monday.

Obama said that for this purpose Russia should withdraw its troops from Crimea.
