Putin's Compromises at the NATO summit

As expected, NATO's MAP (Membership Action Plan) has been delayed for Ukraine and Georgia. Croatia and Albania got green NATO light, receiving the MAP, while Macedonia hasn't got it yet.
In Poland and the Czech Republic only passive military equipment will be installed, such as radars, but not (Patriot) anti-ballistic missiles, decision which will persuade Russia to change its mind on quitting the CFE Treaty:
"Washington plans to station components of its missile defense shield in Eastern Europe. Poland will host ten interceptors and the Czech Republic will have a radar station. The first interceptor could be put into airborne alert in Europe already by 2011, while the full-scale deployment of ten interceptors is to be completed by 2013." (Kommersant)
In return, Putin has promised to ease the US' difficulties in Afghanistan by various means, topic which I don't see such important, since Iraq and Afghanistan will remain open battlefields.
Ukraine is on its way out of the Russian orbite though, since "Ukraine's nuclear power company Energoatom signed a five-year contract with U.S.-based Westinghouse Electric Company to provide nuclear fuel to three Ukrainian reactors after 2020" (RIA Novosti).
Ukraine won't host military bases though, as it is prohibited by the constitution.
The Black Sea Fleet Treaty and the Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership Treaty between Russia and Ukraine further complicate the future status of Ukraine.
At the bilateral Bush-Putin summit in Sochi, in exchange for Kosovo's independence, Putin will seek to gain independence for Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transdniester and possibly even for Nagorno-Karaback, breakaway republics where Russia holds important military facilities, although the independence of these internationally not recognised states won't be gained over night, but probably it will go hand in hand with Georgia and Ukraine's NATO integration.
Mirroring Georgia's increasing pro-NATO status, Venezuela is still in the cards, stuffed with more Russian military hardware.
Since the US' planned shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, Georgia and Ukraine's future integration in NATO, as well as the fate of these breakaway provinces are all connected to the CFE Treaty one way or another, a way for bypassing the CFE treaty is sought, though by peaceful means ("The Sochi talks are seen as a chance to forge a concrete agreement on political differences over issues such as missile defence and the CFE treaty" (Russia Today)) . We'll see what will be achieved there.
The fact that Putin insisted to have a bilateral talk with the Romanian president is a good sign. Hopefully, after the discussion held in Bucharest, the US' base in Romania will lose its apetite for growing and Romania will eventually display a more balanced external policy, at least in the upcoming future.
Conclusion: Practically, as usual, Putin just seeks to gain some more time.

the policy pursued by the Ukrainian government will become openly pro-American
An official document called "Priorities of the Ukraine-US cooperation" (a roadmap) signed on the day of George Bush’s visit can prove this. Ukraine particularly undertook a commitment "to conduct a coordinated information policy regarding NATO," construction of a waste nuclear fuel storage facility, search for ways of technical cooperation under the antimissile system. Besides, we shall take part in military missions on the side of the United States. For instance, even before the summit was over, defense minister Yekhanurov announced that the Ukrainian troops in Afghanistan would be increased," the expert concluded.

In late March (2008), Ukraine's nuclear power company Energoatom signed a five-year contract with U.S.-based Westinghouse Electric Company to provide nuclear fuel to three Ukrainian reactors at the Yuzhnoukrainsky nuclear power plant in 2011-2015.
Last year, it held energetic talks with Canadian companies on the construction of CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium) reactors, the older relatives of the Chernobyl reactor, which exploded in 1986.
These two instances show Ukraine's desire to ease its dependence on Russia. Ukraine has 15 VVER water-moderated water-cooled reactors built during Soviet times, which use fuel imported from Russia.
Westinghouse is to supply 630 fuel assemblies for the annual recharging of at least three VVER blocks.
Ukraine acted impulsively, signing the contract with the U.S. company during negotiations on Russian fuel deliveries after 2010.
Finland has recently decided to continue buying Russian fuel for its Russian-built reactors and declined Westinghouse's offer

Russia and NATO agreed that Russia would open its territory for the ground transit of nonmilitary cargo to Afghanistan, RIA Novosti reported with reference to Russia’s Ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin. The parties will exchange the respective letters April 4, Rogozin said.
Regardless, the timing of Rogozin’s statement is illustrative. The ambassador confirmed Russia’s readiness to the transit after the alliance decided against granting MAP to Tbilisi and Kiev. The issue of further integration of those states into NATO has been put off at least till the end of 2008.

NATO's blessing of U.S. plans for a "missile shield" defense system in Europe and signs it will get the tacit consent of Russia has put pressure on Poland to wrap up talks with Washington on hosting the hardware.
the United States will meet Poland halfway on its demands, leaving Tusk with a dilemma -- whether to accept a slightly less attractive deal
"Now when NATO has backed the plan and Russia seems to have reconciled itself to the idea, Poland has little choice but to accept the shield," said Zbigniew Lewicki, an expert on Polish-U.S. relations at the Warsaw University.
the Czech Republic, its fellow former Soviet satellite, has agreed to host the second element of the shield, a giant radar that is the backbone of the system, without any military aid conditions.
Polish officials insist they will not scale down the long list of weapons they are seeking, including anti-missile Patriot batteries to shield Polish cities from a medium-range missile attack.
Analysts and diplomats say the U.S. side is ready to meet some Polish requests but sees others as unreasonable.
"Polish generals made some outlandish demands but it is not even clear whether Poland really needs the stuff they asked for,"
The Patriots are a case in point because the Pentagon and even some Polish experts doubt Poland faces a risk of being shot at from the medium range.

(Ukraine): The treaty’s signing and ratification in April 1999 was closely linked to Ukraine’s ratification of the Black Sea Fleet Treaty. It guarantees to us the right to keep the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol for 25 years. Back when I was the prime minister, I once came to the Federation Council session that discussed the ratification of a general agreement with Ukraine. Our senators, and they were right, did not want to ratify it without Ukraine’s ratification of the Black Sea Fleet Treaty. In its turn, Ukraine did not want to ratify it without our ratification of the Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership Treaty.
