PUTIN DREAMS OF RESTORING RUSSIA'S GREATNESS !

Putin has been instructed by the Russian Parliament to do whatever is necessary to protect Russia and its Russian citizens.  For him this has become a divine mission and is now his dream !

The fact that Russia is a member of the UN, like almost every other country in the World, is of secondary importance and is not a handicap !  Russia has a Veto but also an inalienable right to protect its interests.

One could call this "Pan Russianism" and this is something which history has already encountered. Hitler in Germany just before the second World War also wanted "Pan Germanism" and annexed Austria and Sudetenland, the latter after the Munich Agreement in 1938 !

Then as now, all Diplomats only wanted to avert the possibility of another World War !  How long will it be before Putin will decide he must protect ethnic Russians in Ukraine ?  The only hope is that the UN is requested by Ukraine to send an International Peace Keeping Force into the country to restore order.
