As Ukraine's new leaders accused Russia of declaring war, Russia's Prime Minister warned Sunday that blood could be spilled amid growing instability in the neighboring nation.
Kiev mobilized troops and
called up military reservists in a rapidly escalating crisis that has
raised fears of a conflict. And world leaders pushed for a diplomatic
solution.
In a post on his official
Facebook page, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev called the recent
ouster of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych a "seizure of power."
"Such a state of order will be extremely unstable," Medvedev said. "It will end with the new revolution. With new blood."
Officials said signs of Russian military intervention in Ukraine's Crimean peninsula were clear.
Russian generals led
their troops to three bases in the region Sunday, demanding Ukrainian
forces surrender and hand over their weapons, Vladislav Seleznyov,
spokesman for the Crimean Media Center of the Ukrainian Defense
Ministry, told CNN.
