Some how I can't help but feel Putin wanted this Uprising in the Ukraine.

Even if he loses the Western Portion to the E.U. or Poland or whoever. It sounds like he will keep the Eastern Portion and Regain the Crimea. Which of Course houses the Black Sea Fleet.

Not a bad gain for the Ruskies.

Sure he does. Draw in the brave fighters to kill them off like sitting ducks.
