even the “Prime Minister” of Donetsk rebels admits the regular Russian army is there in Ukraine now.
“even the Prime Minister of Donetsk rebels admits the regular Russian army is there in Ukraine now.”
He said “Russian Volunteers”, not “Russian Army”.
While it might not be a big difference in real life, it is a huge difference in meaning, politically.
Of course the regular Russian army is helping the Ukraine rebels. DIdn’t all of NATO help the Kosovo rebels? No rebellion I know of has ever won without backing from a outside power - even the American rebellion.
The Confederates got no help from any outside powers. See how that turned out.
