Preparing for war: Putin 'orders immediate test of troops

Pro-Russian activists have clashed with demonstrators backing Ukraine's new government in Crimea

President Valdimir Putin has ordered an immediate test of his troops' combat readiness as violence flares in Crimea, the site of a major Russian naval base.
The news will raise fears that Russia is about to attack Ukraine in order to quash an uprising in the former Soviet state. The decision would fly in the face of earlier warnings from William Hague and John Kerry for Russia to allow Ukraine to decide its own fate.
