<<I don't think they want more than Crimea & Donbas>>>

Midway through the long Peloponnesian war, Athenian negotiators told the Melian reps why they must surrender their small city state:

Right, as the world goes, is only in question
between equals in power, while the strong do
what they can and the weak suffer what they
must"

The full dialog is well worth reading. When the Melians, a small unimportant part in a vast conflict, declined to submit, the Athenians killed every adult male and sold women and children into slavery.

This has been repeated in the history of man thousands of times. Why do you believe Putin and HIS Russians are different?
