What has made it a fiasco? He has achieved his first goal, that of repatriating the Crimea, an historical part of Russia, to Russia. By doing that he has guaranteed the Russian navy a permanent warm water port without having to negotiate a new treaty every decade or so with a country that vacillates between European and Russian leanings. Is that a fiasco for Putin?
Ukraine is certainly an historic part of Russia, but he won't hold it this time next year. And he's paid (and will pay more yet) a palpable price for it.

I thought we were talking about Putin seizing Crimea?

He doesn't "hold" Ukraine now. I'm not sure I understand how you made the leap from my comment that Russia now has the Crimea to Putin holding Ukraine.
If you mistyped your thought & meant to say Putin won't hold the Crimea this time next year, wanna bet?
