ExxonMobil’s CEO Rex Tillerson (whose first name gives you an idea of his self-image) has decided to suspend offshore gas exploration projects in Ukraine, while continuing extensive cooperation with Russia (including a project very close to Crimea). 
Unconfirmed claim: Russian military mined the main gas pipe in the Crimea. Military intruders unearthed the main gas pipeline near Armiansk in Crimea. The security zone of this line is normally 200 meters. Yet, the outsiders have dug in an armored transport vehicle 5 meters from the gas line and laid mines next to it. Thus, any bullet or shrapnel that hits the pipe would cause an explosion. Gas engineers are not being allowed to enter the the site and are being kept out by gunmen.

Yulia Tymoshenko threatened guerrilla war in the Crimea, if the region would be Russian. This ex-prime minister of Ukraine said after talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She promised that in the Crimea will be "a real hot spot."
Novaya Gazeta reports that Russian troops have places Russian flags and established a minefield between the town on Chongar and the village of Mykolaivka, north of there. Effectively, this closes off one of the major routes that Ukrainian forces would have to take in order to reach the Crimean peninsula (map). This report confirms the report we carried earlier that Russian troops and APCs are now in control of territory north of Crimea, in the Kherson region.

"It seems to me our Western partners are well aware of what they are because they visit there regularly, and share very alarming impressions in private candid conversations, but for the reasons of seemingly political expediency are trying to hush up these facts," the minister said.
"The situation in Ukraine is difficult," Lavrov said, recalling that Viktor Yanukovych had removed police from the streets according to the February 21 agreement. "Effectively, there is no state control whatsoever over public order, and the music is dictated by the so-called Right Sector which operates by the methods of terror and intimidation," the Russian foreign minister said. "Already threats are sounded not just against officials in Kiev and other Ukrainian regions, but against heads of the Russian regions neighboring Ukraine as well," Lavrov said.
Unconfirmed report that the Russians are already invading into new territory, beyond Crimea. Russian troops invaded the Crimea in Kherson region.
A massive column of Russian troop carriers, APCs, and support vehicles have been filmed, reportedly on the road between Krasnodar to Novorossiysk (map), in Russia just east of Crimea. With Russian troops in firm control of the ferry routes between the Taman Bay and Kerch, the eastern-most point in Crimea, this begs the obvious question:

Is this an invasion force, prepared for the final Russia push into Crimea, or perhaps beyond?

Peskov: Part of Ukrainian population denied in its right to self-determination.
Part of Ukrainian population has been turned down cold in its right to self-determination, right to legitimate decisions, right to act in defense of its dignity and safety. Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated this on Friday. Crimea’s parliament decides to make the Ukrainian autonomy part of Russia “Unfortunately, the West turns a blind eye to it. And unfortunately for us, despite all the attempts of our president, his readiness to clear Russia’s stance almost on a daily basis, we are still facing a total misunderstanding. This is very sad,” Peskov said in an interview at the “Sunday night with Vladimir Solovyov” TV show, partly aired by Russia 24 channel.
