Russian President Vladimir has made a grand entrance into Crimea.



From a motor launch, Putin addressed Russian sailors in Sevastopol harbour - ostensible to mark Victory Day over Nazi Germany, but seen by many as the president’s official welcome to the newly acquired territory.



Russian ships, troops and air power were there in abundance - putting on a spectacular show for large partisan 4 crowds that lined the shore.



The event commemorated 5 victory of Nazi Germany - when the Soviet Union lost an estimated twenty seven million citizens in World War Two. Earlier in the day Putin had addressed crowds in Moscow before the largest military parade since the collapse 6 of the Soviet Union.



Speaking in Sevastopol, Mr Putin thanked the armed forces for their role in World War Two and hailed the incorporation 7 of the peninsula into the Russian Federation 8, saying historically Crimea was a part of Russia.



"I am sure that 2014 will go into the annals of our whole country as the year when the nations living here firmly decided 9 to be together with Russia.:" Vladimir Putin said.



The Kiev government called the visit a, "gross violation 10 of Ukraine’s sovereignty."



The vast majority of countries around the world do not recognise Crimea as part of Russia, saying its takeover was illegal, but there was no disguising the national pride on display in Sevastopol today for the Russian President’s visit.



German Chancellor 11 Angela Merkel had said it would be a shame if Putin used the WWII anniversary to visit Crimea.



In Ukraine, which in World War Two was part of the Soviet Union, low key ceremonies were held because of fears that pro-Russian militants 12 would foment 13 violence.
