Reckless Congress declares war on Russia

There is a difference between arriving towards a compromise of sorts and letting one of the parties have their way (appeasement). That said one needs to look into the objectives of sides in this conflict, to see if a compromise is possible in the first place.

Ie - why did Maidan radicalise? What was the point of said radicalisation (Yanukovich and his party were both political corpses by the time Maidan happened, and it happened not because he refused to join EU, but because he asked for more time, as the then available treaty was horrible for the Ukraine)?

Which objectives do Western Countries (US and EU) seek to achieve in Ukraine?

The Russian objectives are clear and obvious:
- neutral or friendly political status for the Ukraine.
- neutral or friendly economical status for the Ukraine.
- protection of the minorities rights (mainly of the Russian minority), as per the generally accepted Western standards.
- prohibition of radical Nationalist (and NAZI) parties and political movements (again, as per Western norm).
