Bottom line: I am very concerned about Russia trying to force an escalation of the current war in the Ukraine.
At this moment, Russia doesn't need escalation. Russia got what it wanted, Crimea has been annexed, eastern Ukraine is outside Kiev's control and Ukraine in general is a mess, and with every passing day, world is less and less interested in what's going on over there.

A simple cui bono question leads to a different conclusion.
