STEP 1: The Russian Crimeans want Ukranian cake.
STEP 2: The Russian Crimeans want to eat the Ukranian cake.
STEP 3: The Russian Crimeans want to rob the Ukrainian camemakers.
STEP 4: The Russian Crimeans want to conquer the Ukrainian cakemakers and steal ownership of the cakemaking businesses for themselves.
STEP 5: The Russian Crimeans want to enslave the Ukrainian cakemakers when they discover the Ukrainians make better cakes than the Russians.
STEP 6: The Russian government arrests the Ukrainian cakemakers and puts them in the Russian Gulags and/or exterminates the Ukrainian cakemakers, leaving the new Russian owners of the Ukrainian cakemaking businesses without anyone who knows how to make a decent cake any further.
STEP 6: Some few Ukrainian cakemakers in the Russian Gulags are permitted to survive so long as they supply the Russian leadership with cakes for celebrations in the Russian dachas.
STEP 7: The Russian owners of the Ukrainian cakemaking businesses are denied the flour and other supplies needed to make cakes any further, so their Novorossiya cakemaking businesses fail, they go hungry, and many are put into Russian Gulags for being too familiar and sympathizing with the enemy Ukrainians whose cakes they liked so much.
STEP 8: [....]
The Russians cannot have their cake and eat it too...or not for very long.

It could very well happen that way too
