Geopolitics is much more important for Putin than economy. So, hypothetic new-fledged Novorossia would get tons of help from Russia no matter what. It’s as sure as Strelkov’s gun.))

What perks?
Everything vital for their survival that Novorossia won’t be able to afford because any import would be way too problematic, so to speak. Fuel for nuclear power plants, for example.

Both territories in Ukraine are in trouble. I don't think the EU nor the USA want Ukraine to default. They don't want a total re-structuring of the economy or the system unless it's patterned off of the EU. The IMF has even given Russia loans in the past. The IMF and EU have thrown bad money at economies and I don't see Ukraine being much different. How that comes to be, though, I would not speculate. But, I would guess that they (USA et al.) would not want Ukraine to default or go 'officially' bankrupt without getting some sort of loan first. Some of the citizens can be volatile so if the new administration defaults and they have even 'less' services available...
The current “price tag” is about 32 billion USD.

This is just speculation, though. What scenario do you foresee with a default?
ATM, I expect from the “junta” to deflect attention of the population from looming default with a renewal of so-called anti-terrorist operation (I mean the situation when they are sure they wouldn’t get enough refunding from IMF or whoever). Otherwise, they are doomed to stepping down and fleeing to where Saakashvily currently resides. They are literally between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Some civil unrest ensues...
