And tbh, Russia can't survive without the Ukraine. Only the Ukraine can grow the food in Eurasia that Russia needs to feed its people. Otherwise, Russia needs to buy its food from us, South America, or Australia. Whether it's officially a part of Russia, or an allied state, ultimately it makes no difference.
And Russia isn't connected by land directly to Crimea. They either need to annex East Ukraine, or negotiate access to Crimea through Ukraine. The fighting currently going on, which isn't going well for the Russians currently, is most likely over this access.
