Why would Putin be worried about Ukraine from a security point of view anyway?:
Russia doesn't want conflict with Ukraine but Western powers must provide Moscow with "unconditional security guarantees", President Vladimir Putin has said.
Speaking at his annual news conference, Mr Putin said the US has missiles at "Russia's doorstep" and the "ball is in the West's court" in relation to security in the region.
Which country in the West would actually want Russia? For what? Their gas? As if that would be worth the trouble of war.
Update: the Guardian offers some kind of analysis. And the gas supply issue is complicated - but I still don't really see the security aspect well explained anywhere.
