Putin has already ordered his Ministry for defense to guarantee peace in so-called “republics” with Russian Army. Recognized occupation with ever high chances for full-fledged offensive operation at least towards UA-controlled Donbas 
In fact, Russia openly invades Ukraine's Donbas with its troops even before RU signs treaties with so called "L/DPR" about mutual and defense support to them.
Reaction from the West is absolutely inadequate. Sanctions from US are ridiculous (any from killing package), from EU will be even softer. RU “peacekeepers”, openly occupying Donbas, is not sufficient reason to introduce serious sanctions. Weak, treacherous position of the West.
@trussliz has pointed, that UK and EU will launch swift sanctions. We’ll see.
What UA has to do now? 1)Publicly demand strongest sanctions from the West. It’s recognized invasion. 2) Use UN and all other IOs as tools both to seek for any guarantees, and appeal to stop RU;3) Receive as much weapons as possible, including offensive and “safe sky”.
