@Sheb: Ukraine can still win this war. So far, the Russian army has not fired a single shot, despite all the "we will help you" posturing before the rebel advance began, indicating once again that Putin will not let them engage in conventional warfare, and the rebels are taking rather heavy, if proportional, losses, so it's fully possible that if things proceed as they are, Novorossiya will eventually simply run out of men.
Also, speaking of sanctions, there is a limit to how much trouble Europe is willing to go through in order to help Ukraine, and methinks we are already starting to see this limit, what with the recent refusal to grant more money to Kyiv and all.
Also, Sheb, a minor nitpick: when you bold the most important points in your message, it makes you look like you are some sort of shady internet salesman trying to sell me a snake-oil diet plan, rather that making your posts sound more convincing.
