This handout picture taken and released on March 3, 2014 by the Ukrainian Parliament’s press service shows speaker of the parliament and interim Ukrainian president Olexander Turchynov (R) and British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs William Hague (L) posing prior to their meeting in Kiev. Russia cemented its control of the flashpoint Crimean peninsula without firing a shot as markets plunged on March 3 and world leaders held a series of crisis talks over the worst standoff between Moscow and the West since the Cold War. The British foreign minister urged Russia to pull back its forces in Crimea or face “significant costs”. AFP PHOTO/ UKRAINIAN PRIME MINISTER PRESS SERVICE / ANASTASIYA SIROTKINA
