Frozen, polluted, radioactive wasteland.
Basically:
Ukraine: leaves us alone
Russia: PREPOSTEROUS! >


This IS what it boils down to as far as I can see. Whether Ukraine gets their wishlist or not, if Russia pulled back it's forces from Ukraine proper and Crimea TOMORROW no Ukrainians would follow them across the border. Russia would be out of the conflict, and at that point I don't think there would be much appetite internationally to pursue military commanders for war crimes trials, so as long as they stayed in friendly nations they'd be in the clear. Ukraine wouldn't really have the support to start striking within Russian borders at that point.  
The thing is, as long as Russia occupies Crimea and eastern Ukraine, this doesn't stop for them.  Leave, and the fighting ends. >

Gotta be honest… nobody gives a shit about Russia’s security concerns >

No one wants to invade frozen waist land. They only want Russian oil.
