Here’s a video of this incident:

That’s exactly it....quite something with the sound...and so interesting as it was happening.
Again, the other half of the base had ‘surrendered’...this Ukranian Commander wasn’t about to do that... (remember the Navy Captain who defected to Russia is no considered a traitor and up on charges because he ‘defected’ to Russia).
This Ukraine Commanders idea was a ‘Joint’ purposal for ‘both’ the Ukraine and Russian soldiers ‘together’ would secure the base and carry out the duties and responssibilites there. So that message had to be determined by other commanders, as well as who would determine how it would be done.....if accepted. Thus the standoff continued.
Then later the Admiral would arrive and discuss things further.... but it was never actually agreed on and I have yet to know if there was indeed an agreement after the Admiral arrived....
When all is said and done though..Crimea will be Putins.
