Russia Takes Southern Ukraine in 'Act of Agression'
Ukraine is accusing Moscow of orchestrating the takeover to justify an even wider invasion.
Of the 45 million people living in Ukraine, nearly 8 million are ethnic Russians. Putin claimed the new Ukrainian government installed after the ouster of Viktor Yanukovych is fascist and will persecute the ethnic minority, saying it's his job to protect them.
Meanwhile, the crisis is dividing some families.
"Putin is not going to leave us alone," one woman said. "My sisters in Russia are offended at me and are yelling at me to not speak ill of their president, but I say to them then your president shouldn't touch us!"
For many Russians, Ukraine is viewed as part of the motherland. So when thousands of Ukrainians took to the streets 103 days ago demanding closer ties to Europe and the West, Putin wasn't too happy about it.
Russia has not recognized the new pro-Western government in Kiev, and most experts believe Moscow will try anything to ensure it fails.
This weekend, Ukraine's new but unstable government put the country on a war footing, ordering up all military reservists to active duty.
This move comes as Russian troops urge Ukrainianhttp://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2014/March/Uk ... s-for-War/

US deploys fighter jets to Poland, Lithuania
The exercise was originally planned to be smaller but was increased and pushed forward because of the "tense political situation" in Ukraine, added Sonta.
The deployment in Poland comes after Washington announced it was also sending four F-15 planes to Lithuania to strengthen surveillance in the airspace around the Baltic.http://news.yahoo.com/us-deploys-fighte ... 14022.html

The Ochakov -- a Soviet-era warship decommissioned in 2011 and set to be sold for scrap -- was towed to the entrance to Lake Donuzlav on Crimea's western coast from the Russian base at Sevastopol on Thursday and blown up.
It capsized and, along with two smaller Russian vessels, is now blocking the narrow gap between two spits of land, its hull beaten by rough Black Sea waves.http://news.yahoo.com/blocked-sunken-ru ... 09479.html

Ukraine: US, allied pressure yet to sway Vladimir Putin
This coming week, Ukrainian interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk will fly to the United States to discuss the crisis.
