3 months ago: Russian navy ships are seen anchored during a naval parade to mark the 225th anniversary of Russian navy's Black Sea fleet at the Crimean Peninsula port of Sevastopol, Ukraine, Sunday, May 11, 2008. A Ukrainian yellow-blue flag seen on a ship's bow at left. Sevastopol is still home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet more than 15 years after the Soviet collapse. Under the agreement between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian navy was allowed to remain in Sevastopol until 2017, paying an annual rent of US$93 million (euro73 million).
