Apparently, Alexander Vitko, high ranking military leader of Russia's fleet centered on the Black Sea, issued a severe threat to Ukraine, stating that if they refuse to surrender by 5 am on Tuesday, Russia will invade and commence in full-attack mode.

However, other representatives of Russia's defense system have strongly denied such reports, insisting such an ultimatum had never been issued.

"The ultimatum is to recognise the new Crimean authorities, lay down our weapons and leave, or be ready for an assault," regional Ukrainian defence ministry spokesman Vladyslav Seleznyov told AFP in the Crimean capital Simferopol.

"It may be at 1:00 am, 2:00 am, 3:00 am (Tuesday). There are different times," he said.

Despite the verity of such report, Russian troops have begun streaming into the land mass, Crimea, flooding its borders.

Because Russian troops successfully overtook important Crimean entrance and exit locations, immigration is now in their control.

Russia is behind other aggressive acts against Ukraine including flying aircrafts over Ukraine and blocking the Crimean harbor with their ships.

Meanwhile, the global response has been huge.

US President, Barack Obama, has strongly condemned Russia's actions, insisting that Russia doesn't want to be, "on the wrong side of history." US Secretary of State arrived in Ukraine just hours ago.

David Cameron, British Prime Minister, on the other hand, has more simply urged Russia to be more transparent about its intended actions.

Additionally, Russia has experienced economic repercussions for its actions, with capital city, Moscow's, stock system plummeting significantly, while lowering the value of its currency.
