This is going south, fast. Putin's moving in with full backing from upper house of Parliament. He's just been waiting for this and now he's seizing the chance to move into Crimea.
It will get even uglier by the day.

However, that would be very bad for Russia. The largest Russian population bloc in Ukraine would no longer actually be a part of Ukraine, and subsequently couldn't vote for Russian interests in Ukrainian elections.
On the flip-side, it could be very good for Ukraine and their links with the EU. It would probably also be quite good for the people of Crimea.
Ironically, the Crimean support of Russia will probably work hugely against them here.
