Standoff over for now at Belbek. Troops return to barracks after orders from Col. Mamchuk. "Situation is tense and dangerous right now."

Saw 3 mobile anti-aircraft trucks on the move early today near Sevastopol. Russians? Well the license plates said Moscow. #Ukraine.#maidan

@BBCDanielS Look at February 2014 poll that says only 41% of Crimeans favor union with Russia. It's only 12% nationally.

In 1991 54% of people in Crimea voted to become part of an independent Ukraine. In Donetsk it was 83%. What would be the figures now?

Seems standoff at Belbek defused...but another one brewing at yet another base. Will require max restraint to avoid clash. #cbc
