Nobody knows whether Russia plans to take over all of Ukraine or merely keep the areas friendly to Russia and make the rest of Ukraine west’s problem. The latter seems a more plausible scenario to me. Russia will likely take areas like Kharkov and Odessa because there is a strong pro Russian sentiment there. Then western Ukraine where the nationalists are will become a rump state without any industry or agriculture. This will become an ongoing burden for the west because the state won’t be able to function on its own, and will require constant flow of money to prevent it from collapsing.

Peace? In this economy?
