From the article -- "Russia says...".
At this point anything starting with "Russia says" might as well be interpreted as the opposite of what they claim.
A source in the Ukrainian defence ministry has told the Guardian’s Shaun Walker, in Crimea, that he has heard nothing about an ultimatum that has reportedly been posed to Ukrainian forces in the region to surrender before 3am GMT or face an assault.
UPDATE: The Russian defence ministry denies any such ultimatum.
Shaun writes:
He is not that senior but says he’s on a base right now and neither he nor the base commanders have heard anything of the sort. He said: “It’s probably another red herring to stir up trouble.”
You're welcome
“also be remembered that there have been ultimatums at all bases, including the one I was inside at Feodosia yesterday. They were ignored, and nothing happened.”
