The simple fact is Ukraine was not in our envelope of influence. There wasn't much the US or anyone could do with Russia in Ukraine but our pressure on Russia eventually stopped them from going further.

Obama didn't give concessions to Russia over Ukraine, he accepted the fact that short of starting WW3 there was nothing we could do about it but force financial hardships on Russia.

Russia eventually backed down and now NATO sits re-enforced on Russia's doorstep while your economy goes down the tubes..
