Putin ain't going to quit until he gets Crimea.....and then he will go after the Ukraine......not quite as overtly. Moscow Raises Pressure on West in Ukraine Crisis By STEVEN LEE MYERS, DAVID M. HERSZENHORN and RICK GLADSTONEMARCH 7, 2014 MOSCOW — Russia ratcheted up pressure on the West over the Ukraine crisis on Friday, moving for the first time to endorse the Crimea region’s secession plan, threatening Ukrainian customers with a gas shut-off and warning the United States that “hasty and ill-considered steps” toward sanctions would harm relations. The developments illustrated how quickly the crisis has evolved. Just three days earlier, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had said he did not foresee the possibility of the Crimean Peninsula becoming part of Russia. But leaders of both houses of Russia’s Parliament said on Friday that they would support a vote by Crimeans to break away from Ukraine and become a region of the Russian Federation. That was a clear signal that the Kremlin was throwing its full weight behind a secession drive that Ukraine, the United States and other countries have called unconstitutional and a violation of international law. The referendum on the issue that the Crimean regional government plans to hold on March 16 — a little more than a week away — has been denounced by the fledgling national government in Kiev, which said it would invalidate the outcome and dissolve the Crimean Parliament. President Obama has also rejected the referendum, and the United States government announced sanctions on Thursday in response to Russia’s de facto military occupation of the Crimean Peninsula. read more....................
