Both, actually.
National self determination is a very slippery slope, of course. But what I am mostly amazed at is the US reaction. I tried many times to defend US position when arguing with Russian people, but now I do not think I can stand a chance, next time no one will buy that the United States really cares about "other nations prosperity and peace", and not just blatantly protects its own interests.

But this whole issue is not going to help, and I can hardly believe seeing how US media portrays it...
I was hoping it is at least somewhat unbiased...
