Well in order to break out from Eastern Europe, Russia would need to sieze control of a decent port to be used for... many things. The nearest and by far most convenient of which is a port that used to be a Soviet submarine base. (I forget the name) It'd only be too easy to enround Ukraine from there... Just a quick naval landing to the west in Romania and boom, Ukraine is surrounded on all sides.
