Western Ukraine let Eastern Ukraine know, in no uncertain terms, that they were going to "punish" Eastern Ukraine for having supported Yanukovich. This is SO FAR BEYOND Yanukovich right now. This is about the fact that the nation has been split for its entire tortured existence.
Of course, I think that the easiest and best solution is the Russian one. I'm not exactly a fan of Putin but I do support annexing the Eastern Ukraine to Russia.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine.

I don't think it's limited to Crimea. They will likely occupy Eastern Ukraine as well.
