Lots of things could happen. Russia could do it in less time than that. Or more.

There's one thing that could be done... give Ukraine temporary associate membership of NATO. Putin would be pissed. And if anything happened further then we're looking at a new Great War... just like it was 100 years ago where country A would fight with country B if C invaded them... and D would have to join in.... and so on.
