    But they have moved a huge amount of armaments out of Crimea, expecting a Ukrainian offensive. Taking Crimea back would be huge.

      From today’s issue Moscow Times:

      The Kremlin said Thursday it welcomed any attempt to end the Ukrainian conflict, on Moscow's terms, a day after the leaders of China and Ukraine had their first call since the offensive.

      "We are ready to welcome anything that can bring forward the end of the conflict in Ukraine and the achievement of Russia's goals," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

      In other words, the Kremlin is not interested.

        I read today that many of the oligarchs, their families and even some Russian companies are actively searching for places to move, anticipating some major strife within the country.
