Some 100 soldiers of the newly formed Crimean army march as an officer leads holding the Crimean flag, after taking the oath in Simferopol on March 8, 2014. A dangerous escalation in the flashpoint Black Sea peninsula of Crimea that Russia effectively seized from Ukraine last week saw 40 gunmen in balaclavas and military fatigues fire warning shots above a car moving in front of a convoy of 57 civilian and military observers from the Organisation of Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The culturally-splintered ex-Soviet nation of 46 million people has been in upheaval since three months of deadly unrest brought new pro-European leaders to power in Kiev in February and sent ousted president Viktor Yanukovych into hiding in Russia.
