this could really get interestin if they keep the crimea but don’t get the rest of ukraine. now they have a province cut off from the rest of the country.
Looks like the rent-a-mob pro-Russian agitation in the east and south petered out, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it come back.
Keep in mind, that Crimea is fully dependent on the mainland Ukraine. Water, electric power, gas, etc. - all that stuff is being supplied from there, not from Russia (which has no land connection with the peninsula).
