Sorry, it seems I misinterpreted your comment.

>Point is that Russia has no say over Ukraine's ambitions...That Russia must simply accept and move on.

Well, that's the crux of the matter isn't it. They've not accepted it and haven't moved on and unless/until they are expelled from Ukraine they have a rather large amount of influence over what happens there.

It's interesting to watch that's for sure. One way or another the world is going to look different when this is over.
