SEVASTOPOL, Ukraine -- The Russian ministry of defense on Monday dismissed as "total nonsense" a report that its navy had delivered an ultimatum to Ukraine's military to surrender at dawn or face a "real storm," the Russian media reports.
The reported ultimatum came as British Foreign Secretary William Hague on Monday called the standoff in Ukraine the "biggest crisis in Europe of the 21st century."
