The #Ukraine is planning to withdraw its soldiers and their families from #Crimea. The Kievs security chief Andriy Parubiy said they wanted to move them quickly and efficiently to mainland Ukraine. Earlier, pro-Russian forces seized two naval bases including Ukraine navys headquarters in Crimea and detained Serhiy Hayduk, Navy Chief. It comes a day after Crimean leaders signed a treaty with Moscow absorbing the peninsula into Russia. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has called the crisis in Crimea the gravest threat to European security and stability since the end of the Cold War. Ukraine is also leaving the Moscow led Commonwealth of Independent States alliance, and is preparing for military exercises with the US and the UK.
