I think Russia needs to end it. I think the EU has done a terrible job of handling the situation and has been far too bullish in their support of the revolution. A quieter and more reserved approach could have worked better, as well as a more democratic and foreign pressure based approach. However ifs and buts are nevers really because its happening the way it is.

I think we'll be seeing the new Crimean Russia before the end of the year, that or a civil war or standard war (presumably including Russia) between the pro-rus and anti-rus forces.
