A Ukrainian man wearing camouflage uniform yawns as he asks for donations to support the Ukrainian military with the slogan on box reading "collecting money for Cossacks' needs", at Kiev's Independence Square, Ukraine, Tuesday, March 4, 2014.  Vladimir Putin ordered tens of thousands of Russian troops participating in military exercises near Ukraine's border to return to their bases as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was on his way to Kiev. Tensions remained high in the strategic Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea as troops loyal to Moscow fired warning shots to ward off protesting Ukrainian soldiers. Cossacks were originally a 14th century military force predominantly living in Ukraine and southern Russia. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
