Money flow in the Crimea/Ukraine thing

[Ansiktsburk]

Seems like most hassle of this dignity in one way another is about money.
But I cannot fully perceive where the money is and where people want it to go in the Ukraine conflict.

What has Putin really to gain economy wise? Is it whether or not the people in Ukraine buy their stuff from EU or Russia?
And what does he want Crimea for?
What does really EU want Ukraine for. Another black hole like Greece to stuff money into?
And no one seem to know, in other threads, what Obaba want to get involved.

I've never heard of any oil in Crimea, or Ukraine at all.
