Putin only needs Ukraine in someone’s stable. It doesn’t matter who. There is no strategic advantage to having to now defend Ukraine. There is a strategic advantage to Ukraine being swallowed up by the same entity he already has a working relationship with. It could easily be a trade. Like one farmer letting another have his mule. It might seem disadvantageous but only if you fail to understand the farmers’ relationship with each other.
