Ukraine started moving its military hardware out of Crimea.
Ship "Priluki" will go under its own steam. Two other support ships will be towed to Nikolaev.
Four other ships prepare to leave under their own steam.
Submarine "Zaporozh'je" already left and in Ukrainian jurisdiction.
Ukraine had 70 ships in Crimea. Some of those cannot be transported and will be decommissioned and disassembled in Crimea.
Ukraine also transporting out helicopter Ka-29 and plane MIG-29 on special trailers. Another plane will fly under its own power.

I also see that they added a red outline around Crimea to denote it as disputed territory.

This was fun. This guy basically got called by a Ukrainian bank demanding rent payments on his mortgage. So the guy said, that when he signed the contract, he also singed an insurance, where one of the clauses states that insurance company pays his debt in full if he ends up in a war zone. According all official Ukrainian TV channels, Crimea is a war zone with Russian troops in it, so the bank should direct all the questions to the insurance company. The bank rep hang up and didn't call back. The guy thanks Ukrainian TV for his economic liberation from Ukraine. Cheesy

OMG! The Ukrainian financial institutions will go bankrupt if this is allowed to happen. At the time of liberation of Crimea, it had almost 5% of the total Ukrainian population. Tens of thousands of Crimeans might have taken loans from the Ukrainian banks. Disaster for Kiev.

The Parliament of Crimea just ratified the new Constitution of the Federal Republic

The federal government of the Russian Federation does not need to ratify it, so the new constitution comes into effect after its publication in the parliamentarian newspaper on the 12th of April.

Or get a residence permit.

If they want to be residents, then they have to obey the local laws. These people have illegally seized hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland from the Slavs. Also, they have illegally squatted upon significant amount of public lands. First let them vacate those lands. We can consider about the residence permits sometime later.

I wonder about what's going to be with tatars there - seems like they are going to become Russian as other citizens in Crimea or they would become stateless, that's even worse

If they want they can get the Russian citizenship. If they don't want it, then they are free to migrate to Turkey.
Or get a residence permit.

You can't "become Russian" by applying citizenship, it's a senseless statement. Roll Eyes

or they would become stateless, that's even worse
They were stateless already. They had no schools, no state recognition of language & culture due to ukrainian unitarism. But now they've got a state recognition, because the new republic is a sovereign entity in a federative structure.

Generally, there are no problem with rights of tatar people in RF.

According do Russian media it was a group of drunken Ukrainan soldiers who quarrelled with Russian soldiers. Ukrainian soldier wounded Russian one, who responded by opening fire. Russia opened a criminal (murder) investigation of the incident.

And again, according to Russian media, Kiev denies that the soldiers imbued too much:

Run them through http://translate.google.com if you can't read Russian.
