we have a ukrainian nationalism, and by the way, if you want to the start looking at the blame, theregh blame to go to the moon and back and starting with the russians, and the ukrainians have had 23 years to start sorting out the problems of the economy, and to start sorting out the political problems and they have never been able do do it, but what we are seeing is the russian nationalism seeing this as a target of opportunity. >> well, you see the history, and you have to go back as far as 2008, and the russian military action in georgia and the history going back even further spanning the administration parties and hungry in 1996, and czechoslovakia in 1968, and i wonder looking at the situation now, there is a lot of talk about vladimir putin judging the u.s. to be weak whether it is obama or bush or either administration or either party, and there is a competing point of view, and a contrarian point of view that he is worried and he sees the u.s. in his view having sparked this demonstration right in his backyard and in his view sparking the demonstrations and the protests in th

and protest from a handful of ukrainian cadets who at the conclusion of the ceremony sang the ukrainian nationalthem in protest, clearly not part of the scripted and elaborate military ceremony there and that's a bit of a sign of the embarrassment, the humiliation that the ukrainian country is feeling and the military as well, and an example of defiance there, but a rare one, and the rest of the cases you have ukrainian troops that are being pushed out from one base after another, sometimes after feeling threats, in one case over the course of this week a ukrainian officer shot while at his guard post and increasing calls from ordinary ukrainians for some concrete plan to bring these people out safely with their families. you have to recall in some of these cases there are families living with some of these thousands of troops in these military barracks and residences darted across the crimean peninsula. >> what more can you tell us about a ukrainian gas tycoon who has been arrested? >> reporter: this was big news last night and overshadowed by the tussle of the geopolitics of russia's annexatio

protesters sang together the ukrainian national anthem and other patriotic songs in a show of support. while some russian-speaking ukrainians are welcoming russia's presence, many are filled with dismay watches the russian military take control of crimea, which has been part of the ukraine since 1954. >> we hope very much there will be a peaceful resolution and we hope the united states government also support ukrainian independence. >> we do not want war. we are not against russians. the only problem is the regime of putin. >> russia's actions appear to violate a treaty signed by the u.s. and russia promising to respect ukraine's independence and sovereignty. many of the protesters want the u.s. to intervene and even take military action if necessary. >>> back here in the bay area, police on the peninsula are investigating an armed robbery where the suspect thief made off with a box of high-valued jewels. it happened friday afternoon across the street from geoffrey's diamonds. the suspect grabbed a case and hopped into a getaway car, a newer model silver honda pilot. the stolen jewel

crimea is ukrainian national territory under law. and putin may just want to have us think this is more complex than it really is. i think, chris, the big question, based on the press conference putin gave today, is he going to push north into the big russian ethnic towns in eastern ukraine and go further? if he does that, it will effectively deny ukraine in two then we've got a real crisis in the heart of the europe and united states of europe struggling to put together a cohesive response to this as andrea has reported. >> what are the tools that secretary of state kerry has in h quiver right now? can we deny the membership for a period of time? what steps can we take here? >> i think you're beginning to see president obama and secretary kerry put together a plan. it's a diplomatic plan. we're not going to confront russia militarily and we shouldn't. that would be kas strofic during nuclear powers. part one of the plan is drive up the cost to putin. obama will not go. the president will not go to the g-8 summit in sochi in june. i'

they haven't alterred thai thei daily daily routine which includes the ukrainian national anthem. inside the school, too, nothing has been removed. here, it still says, "glory to ukraine." but these are no ordinary times. amend there is room for compassion in the military men. there are big choices to make and fast. join the russians and stay or remain with the ukrainian force and leave crimea. miraslav has been with the ukrainian navy since he started as a student nearly four years ago. he was 15. >> we are not at any raters. we are not going to the russian side. we are still with the ukraines. not everybody, of course, but the half of us still are going to ukraine and want to serve. >> for cavaruchko, a wrenching choice. most are like crimea like et cetera. he knows if he moves to ukrainians, the russians might not let him come back? >> i want to come back to my parents, but if they won't let me, then that's my destiny. >>> a big price to pay? >> a big price to pay, but what can i do? i am military person. i should go this way. >> he is worried there won't be a navy for him to s

. >> by the ukrainian nationals. >> is that propaganda or is there evidence? >> i think a lot of it is propaganda. there are fascists and extremists and there are certain people in ukraine who don't want to see that, you know, crimea or other parts of the country go away, but i think it would be pretty easy to either create a provocation or to take advantage of a provocation and see russia advance further. that's really what i think the united states is trying to do with all the sanctions, with all the next moves. many people i've spoken to think crimea may be a lost cause at this stage and you have to put these sanctions in place and take a, draw a line in the sand so the rest of the country doesn't go. >> but, obviously these places are more diverse than we're showing in a two-color map. there are ukrainian speaking populations inside crimea and eastern ukraine. there's the tatars population. >> let's pull up the map of crimea. you're right, there's not a black or white narrative or in this case yellow and green narrative. are they voting toward russia? many

compensation and that as described the men as heros and not men who betrayed their jobs to defend ukrainian nationse comes a much more difficult, still military question of what do you do with all the equipment, the russians are seizing war ships and bases and heavy artillery and ukraine soldiers said this is our equipment, we want to go out with it. if there is one example that might possibly serve in the future, it is a russian armed force which accompanied ukraine soldiers who left over the border and may see convoys with ukraine soldiers moving back to main lane ukraine and my suspicion is they probably will not be allowed to take a lot of military hardware back to the mainland. >> reporter: and nick is live in sevastopol and thank you for that. at least 98 people died after a boat capsized on lake albert between uganda and the democratic republic of congo, as many as 250 people may have been on board, the boat transporting refugees back home from the refugee camp in uganda and we have malcolm webb on the line and anything more you now? >> they set off saturday morning from the other side of t
