I think they pretty much have the Crimean peninsula wrapped up. Perhaps they’ll settle for that for now.

I wouldn't if I were Putin. I'd make everyone think I was going to take it all, then settle for the eastern half to the great relief of those now running the western world.

That could very well be the outcome. It sounds like half the country wants to align with Russia anyway, so perhaps that would actually make everyone concerned happy. The other half (Western half) can be free to align with the EU (which I'm not sure is real wise either).
