Natural Resources And The Crimean Crisis

Trigger


Breathtaking

Two days ago there was an illegal referendum held on the Crimean peninsula. Today we learn from the leading German weekly magazine “Der Spiegel” that the Russian Gazprom wants to drill for oil and gas on the peninsula announced by the new Crimean government.

The article reports that on Monday (3/17/2014), the new Crimean parliament voted to expropriate the Ukrainian energy companies Chornomornaftogaz and Ukrtransgaz doing business on the Crimea.
