That's what I was wondering. Besides Russia wanting to keep the port in Crimea, from what I understand, the majority of the Crimeans are pro-Russia and want to be protected from the nationalists in western Ukraine. I guess the other stake in this is potential shale oil reserves. I need to do some more reading on this angle, but it sounds like western oil companies and even people like George Soros have potential money to make in this whole thing.
