The pro-Russian prime minister of Ukraine's restive Crimea is claiming control of all military forces, police and other security services in the region. In a statement reported by local and Russian news agencies on Saturday, Sergei Aksenov declares that the armed forces, the police, the national security service and border guards will answer only to his orders. He says that any commanders who don't agree should leave their posts. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
