What do the Russians want? Is there oil in the Ukraine?
They are paying a big price for it, what ever it is.
The riches of the Donbass.
And possible gas beneath the Sea Of Azov.
They want UKRAINE. Ukraine had the 3rd largest nuclear stockpile in the world UNTIL 2004 WHEN U.S.A. vowed in the 2004 BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM:

The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to RESPECT THE INDEPENDENCE AND SOVEREIGNTY ....
