Ukraine warns of Russia aggression

Thursday, 27 February 2014


Ukrainian interim President Olexander Turchynov has warned Russia against any "military aggression" in Crimea. He said Russia's troops from Russia's Black Sea Fleet should not move outside their naval base in Sebastopol. The warning comes after armed men seized Crimea's regional parliament and the government headquarters of the Russian-majority region. The Russian flag had been raised over both buildings in Simferopol. It is not clear who the men are. "I would like to call on the leadership of the Russian Federation to respect the basic agreements on the Russian military presence in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea," Mr Turchynov, according to BBC.
