Europe will write memos. It will not fight for the freedom of the Ukraine.

With a population of 45m, Ukraine doesn't need armed foreign intervention. It needs guns, ammo and food. The Crimea was a consolation prize - Russia's equivalent of reparations - for the deaths of millions of Ukrainians (including the
Holodomor - its equivalent of the Holocaust) over the centuries while fighting against Russian absolutism. If Ukrainians feel strongly about the Crimea, they may end up having to fight for it. However, I think the likelihood of a Russian intervention is low, because Ukraine's large available population of fighting age males means a Ukraine determined to hold on to the Crimea could inflict hundreds of thousands of casualties - over time - on Russian forces, including tens of thousands of dead.

“Europe will write memos. It will not fight for the freedom of the Ukraine.”
That’s, basically what I meant.
Add to it, though, that the EU will invent some way to blame the Russian atrocities on the US, while demanding that the US “do something!” to fix it.
