Yes Russia was never going to let anything endanger that military port on the Baltic Sea. Putey was going to take back the Crimea and that’s just the way its going to be. The sooner they all agree about where to put the new border the better things will be. Prolonging this war in the Ukraine is poor idea.

[Verginius Rufus]

The fighting since the annexation of the Crimea has been in other parts of Ukraine. Putin seems to want to have a land corridor connecting Russia with the Crimea, but it isn't clear how much of Ukraine will be enough to satisfy him. At Munich Hitler settled for the Sudetenland, but 6 months later he took the rest of Bohemia and Moravia.

Does Putin want to bring all of Ukraine under his control, or will he allow the western part to retain independence? If so, will it be like Finland during the Cold War (internally free but having to be careful not to anger its neighbor) or like Vichy France?
