What do you think of this ?:
"Putin and the Orthodox Church woke excessive nationalism, and it is now virtually impossible to release the pressure [on Ukraine] without losing feathers and some of Putin's (huge) popularity. Putin can certainly be criticized and condemned, and must be deterred. But Western policy towards Russia since 1992 has not been a model of intelligence. With arrogance and flippancy, Europe and the United States took advantage of the weakness of Moscow. The West considered that Moscow no longer counted and expanded NATO regardless of how the Russians felt. Europe was clumsy, we should have made Russia a partner. And today's Russia is a reality, and to be hating Putin, however damaging his actions may have been, or fighting him through NGOs and the media is not a policy.
We must first put the Ukrainian conflict in historical perspective. Ukraine should be a country-bridge between the two worlds. Putin is not stupid, he does not really want to recreate a great Russia, he also said, "Anyone who does not regret the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants to reconstruct it has no head. " So he wants us to re-comply with Russia, despite his mistakes! In fact, we failed to understand that the Russians are not over the demise of the USSR. And Putin seeks opportunities to demonstrate the need to again consider Russia. He first had the conflict in Georgia in 2008. Today it's Ukraine. And with the terrible blunder of the Malaysian downed aircraft, in all likelihood, by his protected separatist rebels, he is on the defensive, will not overcome it, and will eventually recede. Ukrainians now must play their best game, winning back the east, provide guarantees for Russian speakers, and establish a dialogue."
