Well what is the US / EU aim in this?
Are they going to fall for the 'two steps forward, one step back' routine where Russia withdraws its troops from the eastern Ukraine border but 'keeps' Crimea?
Surely, a withdrawal from Crimea is not negotiable? Further the US / EU should support the repudiation by Ukraine of the agreemant with Russian over the use of Crimea for naval and other military purposes.
One can take it further from there to make the point to the Russians but somehow I don't think either the US or the EU have the stomach to face Russia down, once and for all, and put it back in its box.
China is watching... and learning
