A country cannot murder ethnic minorities for a decade and regain their allegiance. The citizens in Eastern Ukraine will persue their freedom with or without Russia's assistance.
From what I can tell you're probably right. This is a story of trenches just like the First World War. Still, there are those who worry what will happen in Europe if Russia is allowed to annex territory. I've also heard stories of Ukrainians working for the Russians given their ethnic allegiances.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
