I take it that regions with a major russian population will have problems with a western-leaning government, and will be hard to keep in line. On the other hand Russia did a lot to stir the pot here.
Also, as i have said numerous times before, the west is not innocent when it comes to Ukraine's situation. Russia's offers or requests (even to join NATO) have been oh so politely and ever diplomatically turned down time and time again, while NATO crept ever closer to Russia's borders. It was from the 1990ies up to 2007 until Putin was at the end of his tether. All sides are grey here, from dark to light.
