Not sure is it so easy but there would be no suffering and no one would try to defend that Russian army went straight for Kiev. Nazis and US (German) supported warmongers would run away to get their next task from uncle Sam and people would save their lives and economy wouldn't be ruined.
I doubt that it is about bravery. It is more about keeping some country occupied. What would be use of Russia to take whole Ukraine that is broke anyway? Russia is not US so that they must conquer and take others wealth to survive. Ukraine is not Iraq or Libya that are full of gas (money). Ukraine is not serious country (and it never was) and it won't ever be. It is like adopting retarded kid. Nothing good would come from that. ....it is better to control half of country ,and that part where people already love and want you and where is most industry located. Let them have own country (Novorussia) that is completely dependent on Russia.(like what US did in Balkans, created small puppet states that are not capable of deciding on their own).
Actually, whole Ukraine is completely dependent on Russia what previous president clearely understood. Ukraine don't have a future. What is left from Ukraine will be poorest country in Europe in incoming decades. This time, without any chance to fix that because they will be drowned in US and EU credits that will be used to buy social peace (mostly) or buy US weapons.
Like in every country that had coup d'état organized form outside, small % of people will become rich and most of people will be slaves. It was incredible stupid move to try to break away from Russia that was letting you steal gas and giving money and cheap gas.
Ukraine could at least get some money from taxes for gas transit, now it is even left without that. Their future is long ans slow death in poverty.
Beside that, it would be historical mistake to go in open war with neibghours' and once blood is there, things won't be possible to fix,never. I know what I am talking about, I ve witnessed that shit and real life stories from those situations are TERRIBLE.
So , long term, Russia took Crimea and naval base (what would anyone there expect, to leave it to US ?) , will have new controlled state, and punished another part of country as example how it looks to turn back to older brother. Long term,it is a win.
