Seriously, I think that if the EU. and Russia agree to make Ukraine a buffer state plus no more military expansion into each others sphere of influence that all will be happiness between the EU. and Russia. It seems Russia is more interested in developing there Far East and Northern coast sea route, which is opening up due to the Arctic ice melting. But what they consider there major security problem in Western Russia has kind of prevented them from fully implementing there plans. Seems this has been there historical problem. Russia expanded into Alaska and California but in the end had to sell there rights to those places because of major security concerns in Western Russia with the Ottomans and other European nations. You cannot properly develop a far-flung part of your empire if the main part, the core of Russia, could be at risk of being invaded.
Russia did nothing wrong in Ukraine
