Russian prime minister Medvedev visits Crimea

SIMFEROPOL, Crimea - Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev arrived in Crimea on Monday with several members of his government on the highest level visit to the Black Sea peninsula since its annexation by Moscow earlier this month.
"(I'm) in Simferopol," Medvedev said on Twitter after his plane landed in the main city in the region, which Western governments say Russia has illegally seized from Ukraine. "Today the government will discuss the development of Crimea here."
