^^^^ This will further increase the prices of Russian gas. Earlier they were around 2,000 UAH / tcm (@ $285 / tcm). Now it is around 5,800 UAH / tcm (@ $480 / tcm). Gas has got three times expensive to the Ukrainians, thanks to the right sector Nazis. Meanwhile the salaries are going to remain the same, and in UAH.

Lavrov stated that Russia has no intention to annex the South-Eastern territories, saying that would contradict Russia's interests:
http://www.interfax.ru/russia/371105

In the meantime, Iceland, Chernogorija, Albanija, Norway and Ukraine "are persuaded to" join EU sanctions against Russia, even though they are not EU members.
http://1prime.ru/News/20140411/782491890.html
The sanctions are basically denying entry to some of the Russian and Crimean officials and robbing (sorry, freezing) their eventual assets in EU.

I wonder, if Ukraine imposes sanctions, should they expect gas at all?

Despite it, Russia can offer help to Ukraine on the following conditions:
Constitutional reforms, elections, forming of a legitimate government with which talks can be conducted, acceptance of Crimea's decision and normalisation in the South-Eastern territories.

(Hmm... those territories were for a long time known as "South-Western", but history tends to play pranks.)

Merkel (well, technically, Germany, though people there are not happy), decided to punish Russia by not selling it produce from Airbus for a total value of $973 million dollars.

Also, in a complete display of political schizophreny, EU confirmed that US, EU, Ukraine and Russia will conduct a summit on Ukraine in Geneve on the 17th of April:

Seems like it. There was a similar incident at a vodka factory elsewhere in Ukraine.

Like this line: Милиция, присутствовавшая на месте конфликта, в ситуацию не вмешивалась.
Police were present during the conflict, but refrained from interfering.

Workers of Fish processing factory Yuzhnaja in Belgorod-Dnestrovsk (near Odessa) stormed and re-took their factory that was previously occupied by unknown people.

Who were these unknown people? Were they pro-Kiev? Or mercenaries sent in by the US?

Neo nazi.

More precisely, journalist Ken Jebsen says that mass media distorts the information and brainwashing people. No one wants conflict with Russia in Germany, met media says that Germany wants a conflict.

He says, the demonstration is "for" something, they are not demonstrating "against". You need not be against US and be for Russia, no. They demonstrate for peace, and not against something.

He also says that he would love to interview Putin.

Found his speech with English captions:

A very good speech. If only journalists like him could be heard. (A fun bit after 34:00)

The base of Berkut in Harkov.
The banners on the gates read: "Berkut are our heroes" and "No to Facism. No to Junta. For the Customs Union (TS) and referendum"

Yatsenjuk arrived in Donetsk. There is some English-language dialogue towards the end of the video.
