Ronald is either a troll or a propagandist for the Russia, there's lots of them about.

The facts (as resonable as you can get) are there. The big thing in this, is public opinion mainly in Russia, and to a lessor extent outside. We know they had to import a large amount of outside fighters due to lack of significant uprising.

The tactics the Russians are using here, are not dissimilar to the Serbian issue. The Russians are happy to engage in Rape, and mass murder and intimidation if it suits them and they have an excuse.

One wonders if and when the Ukrainians manage to get back their territory what war crimes will have been carried out in Russia's name.

I still amazed that the Ukrainians are able to do so well, its seems to be unsustainable, where do they get their major weapons systems from? It seems their old supplier isn't supplying, and the west aren't helping because they don't want to escalate tensions.

One theory could be once they are extended enough and some of their capability (what little they have), then Russia can come in with regulars with less opposition and annex the east. It could also be trying to drag it out to winter, where gas is more of a weapon and other fatcors on the ground may be favorable.
