Ukrainian armed columns move towards eastern unrest. They have to keep their eyes on the squirrel. I surmise Putin supports these eastern pro-russian groups as a way to keep Ukraine destabilized and unable to rally against his seizure of Crimea. Everyone can worry about the rest of the country and adjust to the new normal of a Russian Crimea. I don't think he will invade, although the possibility remains (again, destabilization). If he does invade, he won't stay, just some muscle flexing and then withdrawal from the mess.
