This is a pretty good comparison (IMO) of the Ukraine situation to Yugoslavia in the 1990s.

There are definitely similarities, but also some crucial differences. One difference is that the Russian side simply holds the power here. I can't see the war being as prolonged in Ukraine because Russia will simply blitzkrieg the whole country before it gets to that. In Yugoslavia, there was no one to fill the power vacuum.
