What sources aren't telling you is that Russia has legitimate military bases in Crimea. This is what they have "seized".
Except the whole area is seized not just the naval bases lease to russia. Plus they surrounded all the Ukrainian bases and docks. Then the militia try to 'persuade' the UN official to be detained and remove from the Crimea. I say militia since they wear no flags/ranks, but two soldiers said there from russia.
There a difference between fortifying a base and taking the area over with armed soldiers and tank/jets/helicopters. I don't think the Crimean autonomous militia has that shit.
