LUBIMOVKA UKRAINE – MARCH 04: A camera from a media crew stands next to a roadblock manned by soldiers under Russian command at Belbek Airfield after unarmed Ukrainian troops attempted to retake control of the airfield in Crimea from soldiers under Russian command on March 4, 2014 in Lubimovka, Ukraine. The Ukrainians are stationed at a garrison nearby, and after spending a tense night anticipating a Russian attack following the expiration of a Russian deadline to surrender, in which family members of troops spent the night at the garrison gate in support of the soldiers, their commander Colonel Yuli Mamchor announced his bold plan this morning to retake the airfield by confronting the Russian-led soldiers unarmed. The Russian-led troops fired their weapons into the air but then granted Mamchor the beginning of negotiations with their commander. Russian-led troops have blockaded a number of Ukrainian military bases across Crimea. (Photo by Etienne De Malglaive/Getty Images)
