Are Ukranian Soldiers Held Captive After Russian Forces Take Over Their Bases in Crimea?

I do not mean the legally leased bases of Russian forces like the base where Black Fleet forces are legally based. I mean the Ukrainian bases surrounded and invaded by Russian (let's not beat around the bush about them not officially wearing insignias) forces in Russian vehicles with Russian license plates.

Update:

Please list a credible news reference for the best answer (RT is not included BTW).

Update 2:

Please, I am asking a very simple nonpolitical question. Yes or no, please provide a relevant reference. That is all. No terrorists, no activists, no bullshit. Just are these men being allowed to return to Ukraine proper or are they being held by Russian-backed forces once the bases are taken over. That is all I am asking.

    1. The bases are not invaded or captured by any Russian soldier.

    So, stop spreading lies.

    They conduct their everyday life.

    2. Some ships from Crimean ports went to the Ukrainian soil, Odessa etc. But those staying in Crimea are not oppressed at all.

    A. In Sevastopol the soldiers took oath of allegiance to Ukraine. PHOTOREPORTS

    In Training Center 191of the Ukrainian Naval Forces in Sevastopol, 23 soldiers took the military oath of allegiance to the people of Ukraine.

    B. Russian military came on March 18 to the Ukrainian Training Center and Fleet Military base in Sevastopol and told the Ukrainian soldiers to lay down arms within an hour.

    The Ukrainian soldiers told they didn't want. The Russian soldiers said they would come another time.

    It was their second attempt to unarm the Ukrainian soldiers but as the Ukrainian soldiers still didn't want it failed again.

    Wow, such cruel blood-thirsty Russian soldiers!

    I think you can't find any information (on the atrocities of the Russian troops) in western media as this information doesn't depict Russians as cruel occupants but instead as peaceful people so it can't be broadcast.
