Given that there will be some sort of settlement negotiations at a future date, could Crimea be divided north/south leaving both Russia and Ukraine with a bit of this craved part of coastal land. Who ever calls the shots in Russia in the future will try to hold on to it although Sevastopol as a marine base in this time of missiles has lost most of its value. The same goes for Ukraine. I believe Stephen Kotkin has a strong point in his argument for "How not to win the war, but the peace". YouTube.

Donbass goes to Russia. Crimea goes to Ukraine.

I fully agree with you Eisemann. The problem is who is going to beat Russia home ? If we cannot do that a compromise is the way to get some sort of peace and a way to get the rest of Ukraine into the western alliance.
