On the shores of the Black Sea the situation is in danger of precipitating. After the taking of Parliament of Sevastopol, where armed men broke in, hoisting the Russian flag on the facade of the building, the airport of the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was also occupied during the night. But the flights scheduled for the day have not been cancelled.
Russian military also took the stopover Belbek near Sevastopol. A move that according to the military would serve to prevent "the arrival of militants from Kiev and western Ukraine".
After the deposition of President Viktor Yanukovych tensions continue to rise and yesterday Putin ordered a surprise exercise of troops on the border with Ukraine. Interim President Oleksandr Turchynov said that "any movement of the military of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, outside the areas established by the bilateral agreements, will be assessed as aggression".
