Russia invades Crimea

On February 28th, 2014 armed men with no identifying markings, initially called polite armed men in green or polite people, but later identified as Russian GRU Spetsnaz forces left Russian military bases on Crimea in unmarked military vehicles and briefly secured a small number of strategic locations on Crimea, including the Parliament Building and and the Simerfopol International Airport. Western mainstream media however reported the evens as a full scale military invasion and occupation of Crimea, with armored columns entering from Russia and occupying every part of the peninsula. The Wikipedia article on these events, which bases itself on what it calls "reliable sources", i.e mainstream media, repeats these claims. This page looks at the evidence for these allegations.
