Putin's Ukraine Ambitions Hinge on Allies He Can't Rely on

The prospect is alluring: long-term influence over a Russian-speaking
corridor linking eastern Ukraine and Crimea, ensuring supplies of
electricity, food, jet engines and other military hardware as well as
unfettered access to offshore oil and gas fields.
.
The difficulty for Russian President Vladimir Putin in the next stage of
the Ukraine conflict is the status of his best tool for achieving that
goal: armed separatist groups. They may be in danger of losing momentum in
their battle with the Ukrainian government. And even if they maintain
their grip, they show signs of pursuing a rogue agenda that hurts Russia
more than it helps.
.
Putin has kept a low profile in the days since Ukrainians elected a new
president and government troops scored a rare success by preventing the
pro-Russia separatists from taking over the country's second-largest
airport.
.
As the dispute drags on, it seems less likely that he will send in the
troops who have been massed along the nations' border. But the desire
remains to rebuild Kremlin influence, lost in the collapse of the Soviet
Union, across a region that manufactures hardware for the Russian defense
industry.
.
Two areas already occupied by pro-Russia gunmen, Donetsk and Luhansk,
provide the first half of a land corridor from southern Russia to
Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, which Putin annexed in March.
.
Nearby is the Zaporizhia region, home to the Motor Sich enterprise that
produces jet engines for Russian transport and combat aircraft.
.
The final piece of the Russia-Crimea land bridge, the Kherson region, was
the chief provider of electricity and food to the peninsula, which hosts
Russia's Black Sea fleet and potentially lucrative seaside resorts.
.
Russian dominance in Zaporizhia and Kherson would also ensure access to
offshore oil and gas fields in the Sea of Azov that are operated by
Russia's Gazprom energy behemoth.
