(CNN) — A day after being named the head of the Ukraine’s navy, Rear Admiral Denis Berezovsky on Sunday declared his loyalty to the pro-Russian, autonomous Crimea government and disavowed Ukraine’s new leaders. Berezovsky, who was appointed Saturday by interim Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchinov, said he will not submit to any orders from Kiev.
