Unnecessary Brinkmanship over Ukraine by the USA, EU and Russia

The brinkmanship from both The Western (NATO and EU) and Russia is unnecessary. They should put their egos aside and work with the two sides in the Ukrainian political divide to thrash out a working agreement for the country that respects the history, culture, values and identities of the different peoples in Ukraine. I would suggest a Ukrainian federation of three areas or units made up of their current provinces (A bilingual Central Ukraine centered around Kiev where Russian and Ukrainian are equally recognized, an Eastern/Southern Ukraine federal unit where the prevalence of Russian is accepted, and a Western Ukraine Federal unit where Ukrainian is prevalent). Switzerland is working, Belgium is still together.
