But, as we found out after this american 'F.. the EU' statement, the US is also deeply involved in it, and they do not want the EU to succeed.
I just wonder what Russia will say if the US influence on the Ukraine becomes a bit more hardware-like.
They will probably invest in their own hardware into the Ukraine, most likely T-80 shaped.

It's a three way power sphere battle, with each side wanting to be the one that takes the political prestige from 'solving' the crisis. However since all three sides are pulling in different directions, nothing has been done and the situation has gotten out of control.

EDIT: Unconfirmed reports indicate that top officials are fleeing Kiev:

Unconfirmed reports that some of the top officials and their families have been leaving Kiev. Journalist Hanna Babynets from independent Hromadske TV reported this from Kiev's Zhulyany Airport: "Three planes have taken off in the past five minutes. It's very likely that they are carrying cash: suitcases have been unloaded under guard from armoured vans usually used to transport cash... scheduled flights have been suspended, the airport administration says."
