Unidentified soldiers block a road to Ukrainian military airport Belbek not far from Sevastopol on February 28, 2014. Ukraine accused Russia of staging an "armed invasion" of Crimea on Friday and appealed to the West to guarantee its territorial integrity after pro-Moscow gunmen took control of the peninsula's main airport. Unidentified armed men were patrolling outside of Crimea's main airport early Friday while gunmen were also reported to have seized another airfield on the southwest of the peninsula where ethnic Russians are a majority and where pro-Moscow sentiment runs high.
