Indeed, that's going to be the biggest crisis once the dust settles from all this, and if West Ukraine cuts itself off from the East and South then it loses a) the naval base at Sevastapol, the existence of which keeps Russia supplying gas, and b) the coal fields of the east, a good economic resource.
Which leaves it with...what? Chernobyl?
