KIEV, March 3 (Reuters) – Russian forces seized control of
the border guard checkpoint on the Ukrainian side of the ferry
crossing between Russia and Crimea, and began bringing in
truckloads of soldiers by ferry on Monday evening, Ukrainian
border guards said.
Russians have been surrounding the ferry terminal for days
but until now had not taken control of Ukraine’s border guard
station. A border guards spokesman said Russian troops seized it
and brought three truckloads of soldiers across.
