Crimea though is another matter. For a start the Russian military does not need to invade - it is already there, leasing facilities from the Ukrainian authorities.
The bulk of Russia's Black Sea Fleet is based in Crimea with its headquarters in Sevastopol.
Russian naval personnel come and go in Sevastopol as if it were a Russian city. The navy dominates the town.
While largely made up of naval personnel, the Black Sea Fleet also has a contingent of marines and there have been a series of reports suggesting that Russian forces in and around Sevastopol have been bolstered in recent days.

I think it's the Black Sea bases that are primarily the reason for these 'gunmen'. Russia is just taking care of it's own business.
