According to Russian member of the Committee on International affairs Senator Igor Morozov, Ukraine’s Navy flagship the Hetman Sahaidachny has come over to our side today. It has hung out the St Andrew’s flag,” The Russian position is;

"The crew has fulfilled the order by the chief commander of Ukraine’s armed forces Viktor Yanukovich,” So clearly the Bear's new claim is that some sort of Ukraine government in exile is operating and elements of the Ukraine's armed forces are responding.
