Absolutely, the Ukraine has been a sort of proxy battleground between two spheres of influence, the east and the west. It's not the first time we've seen this happen in history, and it's not going to be the last. Neither side may have started events rolling, but they're damned if they're not going to capitalise on them once they have.
