@Reelya: Not to mention it would be ironic if they did go and outright genocide, considering what the jews were fleeing from and suffered in WWII.

Actually, the whole thing including the ethnic purity thing seems to almost parallel the nazis and WWII. Not quite parallel, but enough that the irony is there.

What was that saying or proverb about turning into the same evil that you fled or fought against or something?

Ukraine is a weaker side in the war, and most Europeans have a strange philosophy of "weak makes right". Should we start winning the war (for example reconquer Crimea and deal with population here)  opinion will change.

Reconquering Crimea would be an impossible task for Ukrainian military to do, though. There are multiple land and naval Russian bases there, and the bridge between the Crimea and the mainland is so thin that it's impossible to move large quantities of soldiers needed for advances there.

So don't worry, you'll remain the weak side for the foreseeable time.

Ukraine is obviously the weaker one, changing presidents and forcing Russia to invade them to preserve their waning sphere of influence and attempt to show the other satellite nations they'll invade for not toeing the line. Truly a strong nation, kept in line with fear and guns.

"deal with population here" sounds like it's straight out of a speech by some kind of genocidal dictator, so I guess you've got a point there.

Ah, that's why Europe always sides with North Korea instead of South Korea.

If war broke out and the US supported SK, I think a fair few people in Germany would find very kind words for Kim Jong Un...

Let's not forget that majority believes that North Korea is an aggressive nation with a huge mighty army while South Korea is a bunch of unarmed hippies.
