I worry if Russia has the ability to turn off the taps in retaliation for Western intervention, then Ukrainians are forced to align with Russia instead of the West.
I believe that much of Europe gets natural gas from pipelines which run through Ukraine. Cutting off Ukraine impacts the rest of Europe. I believe we saw this in 2006 and 2009.
