I think Putin is going to annex the Eastern portions of Ukraine, and keep the option on the table of taking the rest when he sees fit.
German reliance on Russian gas guarantees that the response from the West will be only a minor inconvenience. I heard Putin has 600 Billion dollars in reserve. He can run his country for years on that (if he hasn't stolen it already).
