Ukraine Holds Naval Exercises In Crimea

Ukraine sent hundreds of troops, five ships and 15 aircraft into the Black Sea region for day-long military drills off its Crimean Peninsula just as a Russian state news agency said Russian drills in the same body of water were coming to a close. Crimea, Ukraine's only autonomous republic, is a focus of rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

But its still part of Ukraine.

Talking of tensions, Ukraine has one other territory closer to home than Crimea - Moldovo, which used to be part of Romania, now an EU country.....

Moldovo stands for old Moldavia, near Bukovina. That´s where vampires live and prowl in the middle of the night.
