#1 One thing I've noticed about Ukrainian politics: they all run on pro-Western (anti-Russian) platform, and they all come sucking up to Russia after being elected.

#2 Kinda like US politicians: they campaign as center-right and then go back their neo-commie roots after the election.

#3 I think it's also have something to do with a few million Ukrainians working in Russia and sending money home + where Ukraine major markets are, Pappy.

#4 I'll be surprised if Putin lets it happen...

Dunno. Putin got what he wanted in the short term in Crimea without much more than moving his pieces around. Now he just needs to hang around on the border while Ukraine splits east/west over its internal politics. Not that a little provocation and disruption wouldn't hurt...
