Ukraine was once known as "the breadbasket of Russia" -- what might that have to do with it, if anything?
Nothing, as far as I can tell (but I am not well versed in economics of the area.)
The issues at hand are: a hostile state on the border; a creeping lawlessness, like Chechnya of 1990's; genocide against ethnic Russians[1]; and extension of NATO.

BTW my college roommates' family escaped from Soviet Ukraine, back in the day.
And there is no Alkibiades to come back and save us from ourselves.
