Ukrainian soldiers serving in Crimea have been authorized to use their weapons to defend themselves, according to the acting Ukrainian president's press service.
The order comes only hours after a Ukrainian serviceman was shot and killed on Tuesday at a Ukrainian base that came under attack in Crimea's main town of Simferopol and acting Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said the Crimean conflict has now entered a "military phase."
Vladislav Seleznyov, speaking to Reuters by telephone from Crimea, said one serviceman at the base had died of his wounds. A second man, a captain, was injured.

The Russians will claim that the masked men are not their men, they are simply Concerned Crimean Citizens. cause.. you know.. everyday concerned citizens have full military gear and weapons/ammo.

Consider that 4 of the 5 deadliest battles in history occurred from 1941 to 1945 between Germany and Russia, losses of life that make the Middle East look like kindergarten. Just two of those battles caused more death than every war in the Middle East in the past 100 years combined... but the great powers of Europe have been at peace for 70 years. Coincidence? Or does the bickering and stalling work?
Hasta pronto, porque la vida no termina aqui...
America, stop pushing. I know what I'm doing.
