Putin certainly didn’t expect to be beaten by the Ukrainian army. He can be thankful that the old USSR never faced the US in a war.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin might be looking for a way out in the wake of tougher international sanctions and the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17." With international ire on MH17 giving Ukrainian forces a "carte blanche" to deal with the separatists...
People ask who would benefit from this airliner shoot-down. Not the Russians. Ironically after the shoot-down planes were diverted from the conflict area to over Russian territory.

This was one of the expected outcomes.
If the Ukraine politicians maintained the will to fight, the military would eventually recover and start defeating the rebels.
Other good news from the article is in the captions of the pictures. Russian separatist sending their families to Russia. Not a good morale move for them.
