Plenty bad for future stability in the region and knowing Russia has no respect for national borders and sovereignty. They invaded without a declaration of war, seized airports and cut off communications while landing troops all under the guise of a "people's militia".
Not the first time they've done this either. For a country that advocates respecting the internal affairs of other nations when it's convenient for them (Syria, Chechnya, etc), it's an extremely dangerous precedent. Meanwhile Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Kazakhstan look on nervously.
