Western diplomats and media interpret Putin’s press
conference as a welcome step back from confrontation. His goals accomplished –
the securing of Russian forces in the Crimea and protecting Russian speakers
from ethnic violence – Putin has declared that he is walking back the military
option, although he reserves the right to protect the interests of ethnic
Russians as well as Russia ’s
own interests in Ukraine .
Alarmingly, Western diplomats and media laud Putin’s support of elections.
Putin is going to allow the Ukrainian people to decide their own fate. Let’s
breathe a collective sigh of relief.
