Ukraine's Crimean parliament voted Monday to nationalize energy companies Ukrtransgaz and Chornomornaftohaz, according to a statement on the Parliament's website.
A Crimean official said last week that the local authorities may sell the oil and gas company Chornomornaftohaz to a Russian firm "such as Gazprom" once the region assumes control of it.
On Sunday, a Russia-backed referendum in Crimea demonstrated overwhelming support for joining the Russian federation.
The US and its European allies are expected to announced sanctions against Russia on Monday after Crimea announced that just under 97% of voters in the region supported leaving Ukraine and becoming a Russian province in the referendum.

Pipelines are not the issue for Crimea, it will be significant for ports and offshore zones that come with it. 200 nm or split with the closest other land mass.

If Ukraine shuts off the pipelines...Then how would Ukraine and some parts of the EU get gas? How quickly would Ukraine be destitute abd starving?
Does the EU really want anything to do with Ukraine without Crimea and its surrounding geography?

This will make it easier for Putin to loot corporate assets after he annexes Crimea.
