No it will not hapen becuse of the history of WW2 of "anschluss" then you misunderstands the balance of power, Ukraine only need to survive during the hardship to "win" Putin must be popular during the hardship to "win"
I know you are a hardcore suporter of Putin and cant see that he is doing somthing wrong but http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ru...-idUSKCN0WN1H3
"According to one poll, by the independent Levada Center, 73 percent of voters said they trusted Putin, down from 83 percent in the same polling series a year before, while 19 percent said they did not trust him, up from 14 percent."
Yes he is still popular, but it start to erode.
