Indeed, and there is another case of iilogicallity from the Putin Conundrum. If, in his mind, Crimea is already Russia, then so are the other eastern regions of Ukraine. The only escape from this loony loop is to actually declare war, properly, and face the consequences from his own people.
Putin is in a hole and just can’t stop digging.
