親俄羅斯軍隊控制了烏克蘭海軍司令部

Pro-Russian forces have taken control of Ukraine's navy headquarters in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, a day after Russia signed a treaty with local authorities to make Crimea part of Russia.

Witnesses say at least 200 of the unarmed self-defense forces entered the base Wednesday and put up the Russian flag. There was no violence, as Ukrainian service members reportedly did not resist the takeover.

Thousands of Russian soldiers have overtaken Crimea in recent weeks. The majority-Russian region voted in a referendum Sunday to break away from Ukraine and join Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's moves to annex Crimea have angered the United States and European Union, which have declared the referendum illegal and imposed sanctions on Russia in response.

But Mr. Putin told the Russian parliament Tuesday the vote was legal and that Crimea has always been an "inalienable" part of Russia.親俄羅斯軍隊控制了克里米亞港口城市塞瓦斯托波爾的烏克蘭海軍司令部。一天前俄羅斯與克里米亞地方當局簽署條約，使克里米亞成爲俄羅斯的一部分。

目擊者說，至少有200名沒有武裝的克里米亞自衛軍星期三進入基地，升起俄羅斯國旗。據報道，烏克蘭軍人沒有反抗，沒有發生暴力衝突。

最近幾個星期俄羅斯派數千名軍人佔領了克里米亞。俄羅斯族人佔多數的克里米亞上星期天舉行公投，贊成脫離烏克蘭加入和羅斯。

俄羅斯總統普京吞併克里米亞的做法令美國和歐盟感到憤怒。 他們宣佈克里米亞公投是非法的，並對俄羅斯採取了制裁行動。

但是普京早些時候對俄羅斯議會說，克里米亞一直是俄羅斯“不可分割的”一部分。他說，星期天的全民公投是合法的。
