Putin has decided he wants Ukraine to have a federal structure so that the Russian speaking regions have more autonomy. Get that?
He is dictating the form of government they should have to avoid invasion. First he creates a "crisis" in the Ukraine, then he proposes the solution to the problem he caused.
The basic idea is that in 10 or 15 years the autonomous Russian speaking parts will be ready to secede and re-join "Mother Russia".
If you share a border with Russia, they will meddle in your affairs to ensure that you have an easily manipulable government.
Xenophobic, nationalistic, and totalitarian seem to be written into Russian DNA. They worship the "strong man".
