I would suspect that when Putin's involved... there's not such thing as free money... Also Russia isn't exactly soaking in cash at the moment. Ukraine's infrastructure is a mess and it's going to take a lot of money to fix it. Once your average Russian citizen sees how much it's going to cost in actual Rubles, they'll be pissed about it. There won't be anything they can do about it, not even complain, but they can be pissed about it.
If Russia decides to not fix up Ukraine just take the territory, that's going to look *really* bad too.
