We will see. A referendum on the Crimean autonomy status will be held in Crimea on March 30th.

Also,Putin must protect his Baltic Fleet. This is where their submarine fleet has been since the Soviet days, there are marines and troops there to protect it. Ukraine cannot expect Russia to leave its base vulnerable, they clearly made agreements to it staying there after the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia is doing only what any country would do when one of its bases is at risk.
