The latest VICE news report out of Ukraine.

As Russians stream into Crimea to help wrestle it away from Ukraine, an unlikely group of Serbian war veterans, who have experience fighting in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo, are turning up at the checkpoints too. VICE News reporter Simon Ostrovsky follows Russian troops as they continue their occupation of Ukrainian military bases, and learns about unidentified men in masks attacking journalists reporting on the situation in the peninsula.

Good vid, thanks.
To add more to the above,
The Serbian War Vets are "Supporting the Cossacks in defending Crimea from the West."

Ya these are such great guys.......watch the video people and see the cold hard truth. These are bad guys supporting fascism. This is the cold hard truth and just watch the pro-Russia brigade try and spin this.

Yeah i saw the 1903 patch this paramilitary group was particularly nast during the Yugoslav wars. The serbians were fascists who was into ethnic cleansing. Some nasty stuff there are could point you to pages that would shock you. The NLA were known to be the KLA in disguise but they were terrorists killing police and civilians. Had a habit of collecting skulls like on his patch.

OK, thank you, but forgive me for saying that Twitter feeds and possibly 'your sources' in the Ukraine are not necessarily 'reliable sources' are they? Anymore than the propaganda spin by various newsagencies.

This puts an interesting twist on the Crimea's upcoming 'independence' vote....and what the 'boys in the backroom' are getting up to.

Chernomorski means black sea in Ukrainian/Russian Not so sure its a city. Hash tagging makes the sentence confusing. Is it in Crimea or mainland Ukraine.

Correction its in Crimea. West Crimea.

Another ultimatum from Crimea's "government"

According to the text of the document, "to ensure the safety of citizens and Yalta avoiding provocations during the preparations for the referendum on March 16," offered during March 9th from 22:00 to 22:00 on March 10 command of the military unit A4519 " decide disarmament personnel military unit, putting all weapons at the warehouse facility and transfer custody of the personnel of Special Forces Black Sea Fleet.

Sticks and stones can hurt their bones but names can never hurt them. The United States is rubber and you are glue. What you throw at them bounces back and sticks to you.

Just out from the Ukraining defense ministry:

UKRAINE ARMED FORCES CONDUCT TRAINING DRILL: DEFENSE MINISTRY
UKRAINE DEFENSE DRILL AIMED AT TESTING `COMBAT READINESS': MIN
It may not be an abrupt ICBM launch, but it certainly increases the odds of some unintentional, or fully intentional, provocation between the Ukrainian and Russian militaries which as we have been following over the weekend, are amassing in very disturbing numbers in Crimea and, soon, east Ukraine.

For those who missed our coverage over the past few days, here are some of the clips foreshadowing this "drill" announcement. The first clip below captured the 80th Airborne Regiment out of Lviv moving out, direction mainland, preparing to repel foreign attack.

That Ukraine "drill" may be coming at just the right time. Just out from Reuters:

RUSSIAN TROOPS OPENED FIRE DURING TAKEOVER OF UKRAINIAN MILITARY POST IN CRIMEA, NO ONE WOUNDED -INTERFAX QUOTES UKRAINIAN BASE COMMANDER
And at the same time:

RUSSIA'S PUTIN SAYS TOLD FOREIGN MINISTER LAVROV TO INVITE U.S. COUNTERPART KERRY FOR MORE CONSULTATIONS ON UKRAINE
RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER LAVROV SAYS HAD INVITED KERRY TO RUSSIA TODAY, BUT KERRY SAID ON SATURDAY HE WOULD LIKE TO POSTPONE VISIT

Russian troops seized a military hospital and a missile base in the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea Monday, in the latest show of force in the battle for the country’s disputed future.

Pro-Russian militias joined Russian troops in taking over the hospital in Simferopol -- the region’s main administrative city -- herding staff members into a hallway to apparently “meet the institution’s new directors,” Reuters reported, citing Interfax. The report said 20 patients at the hospital are gravely ill.

Russian soldiers disarmed servicemen at a Ukrainian Army missile base overnight Friday. Ukrainian military spokesman Vladislav Seleznyov told a local TV station that some 200 troops approached the building and threatened to charge it if the Ukrainian soldiers refused to give up their weapons.

Situation is deteriorating rapidly. How much longer can they keep the Ukrainian military under siege in Crimea before something happens? I'm hoping that these fresh rounds of talks coming today between both sides yields some fruitful results.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has criticized western governments and media for turning a blind eye on alarming incidents in Ukraine, including a gun attack on a pro-Russian rally in the city of Kharkov.

According to eyewitness reports, some seven or eight masked people drove a mini-van to a Saturday rally in central Kharkov, which was demanding a regional referendum on whether it should follow Crimea’s suit and seek joining Russia.

There is also the blockade of border travel for Russians living near it, which was recently reported by the Ukrainian border guard service. The service said it banned some 3,500, including 16 journalists, from entering the country, which amounts to about 500 people each day.

“The shamefaced silence of our western partners, rights groups and foreign media is baffling,” the ministry statement said.

This bit of information has people thinking that the pro-Russian/Russian troops will try to enter Eastern Ukraine to allow the cities that want to vote on referendum to join Russia a chance to do so.

I realize Ukrainians don't want to fight, but there comes a time when you have to defend your country and lives from those taking over your base and firing into your base with weapons. No one wants war, but to just not fight and give up is worse.
