Ukraine building own pipe as well ands anyway Ukraine will be main transit country for Russian resources for manyyyy years.

No way. Part will go through the Baltic pipeline (to avoid Ukrainian or Polish territory), part will go through Bulgaria and Greece (from the Black See ports) part will go to China, Korea and Japan, part will go to Iran - yes, Iran will export more if its own while supplying north from Russia. Russia has hundred ways of exporting her resources.

This is gas pipe. Europe will need more gas in future than they actually need. In effect if this pipe will be build at all (because it is not sure, costs are very high and actually there is no official support from EU, also there is question of ecology), Ukraine would lose nothing because additional gas would flow under Baltic see.

part will go through Bulgaria and Greece (from the Black See ports)

This is oil pipe, which they building because the Turks want to get rid their tankers from Tutkish straights. Then Russians will send tankers to Burgas in Bulgaria, then oil will flow to Greek port and then other tankers will take it to original destination. Conclusion is that status quo will be saved, there will be nothing more oil than already is.

Naturally we are talking about European markets, and obviously every pipe to Japan would avoid Ukraine. But this has nothing to do with political situation in Ukraine.

Looks like Poland and Ukraine will also build this missing pipe from Brody to Plock (oil) , I read that some European bank is ready to give us a credit.
