So, expulsion of "ethnic Russians" being the possible "long term solution" to the "ethnic Russian problem" in the Ukraine, why should anyone help a "government" that does not represent the entire population of the Ukraine and is sympathetic to expelling a huge percentage of the population?

Why should the EU, the US, or anyone else lift a finger to help people who are infatuated with the idea of an ethnically pure State not unlike the State Nazi Germany envisioned for Germany?

Now about my original questions . . .

For the same reason that the Allies backed the expulsion of Germans from Danzig, Konigsberg and the Sudetenland - because they serve as a focal point for the irredentist ambitions of an imperialist power. The issue isn't that they're not Ukrainian - it's that they're used as an excuse for, and heavily back the territorial ambitions of an expansive power. The analogue of Nazi Germany in this situation is Russia, not Ukraine.
