I’ve read and discuss about what happens in Ukraine since last week with many parties who are directly affected by the event.
These stake holders all mentioned the same thing which I pointed out to the others – pipelines.
Specifically, the natural gas pipelines built during Soviet Union period in Ukraine are the only means for Russia to deliver their products to other countries.
Today, the news of Crimea’s intention to join Russia has surfaced,
Once southern regions of Ukraine choose to side with Russia, be that an independent state or going back to join Russia, the goal of Putin is accomplished.
The reason is that there are 2 main pipelines going through Ukraine at this point. If Russia gets to control the ones in the southern part of Ukraine, they no longer need to bargain with the other part.

Remember Ukraine is the country that has been playing with fire itself. At the discounted rate for natural gas, they still owe Russia almost $2 billion dollar worth of natural gas. Whoever in that government trying to gain power are not there to help their people. They want to replace the president in exile so that they themselves can make money like him.
Putin obviously already know all possible scenarios that will be played out. He will not get out of this event empty handed.
