If they are going to do a bold move, NOW is the time.
If I am staring down a bear and all I have is a knife, I am not going to stick it in the eye with hot pokers. I think that would be asking for trouble.
The Ukraine is not holding a lot of cards here, and the Russians know what their hand is. They also now know the West will not come to their add (see Georgia).

Well, Ukraine is standing firm and they know their limits. On the other hand, they have the baltic states and we will arm and support Georgia..we are already doing that.
the Ukrainians will bide their time, but even now, they stand strong.
