My Way News - Ukraine holds naval exercises in Crimea
My Way News reports: "There are growing concerns that disagreements over Crimea could also end in military conflict as Russia looks to reassert its authority over what it considers its rightful sphere of influence. [...] Long part of the Russian empire, Crimea was ceded to Ukraine in the Soviet era. Today, a majority of the 2 million residents of Crimea are ethnic Russians, many of whom feel close to Moscow. "
