Report: Ukraine claims Russian military blocking airport
Russian military were blocking an airport in the Black Sea port of Sevastopol in Crimea near the Russian naval base while unidentified men were patrolling another airport serving the regional capital, Ukraine's new Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said on Friday.
Avakov wrote in a Facebook post that the Belbek international airport in Sevastopol was blocked by military units of the Russian navy.
"I can only describe this as a military invasion and occupation," Avakov said.
The Russian foreign ministry refused to comment. (AP)
