In my opinion the Russians would likely be within in their rights to launch a peacekeeping mission into the east of Ukraine to protect the Russian minority living there.
They'd be better of getting to lead a UN op, if any op is even needed, but I don't think Vlad would be that patient. The deal not too long ago in re Georgia is instructive.

In your opinion, were the Germans within their rights to launch a peacekeeping mission into the Sudentenland to protect the German minority living there?
Were the Turks within their rights in Cyprus?
Your Godwin move is both noted, and not respected.
