Ukrainian court officials are reported to have illegally entered the base used by Russia's Black Sea Fleet deployed in the port of Sevastopol in Ukraine’s Crimea. Citing the ruling of a local court, Ukrainians demanded the Russians transfer to them use of one of the leading beacons not far from the port. Ukrainian citizens are not granted access to the base without special permission from Russian authorities. The command of the Russian Fleet has expressed indignation about the incident.
