a Ukrainian "civil war" is a Kremlin lie. the Donbas "separatists" were always practically all Russian soldiers and Russian materiel.

Call it as you wish, but the outcome for the ukrainian civilians in that area was the same. Thousands of deaths since 2014.

Russia did supply military, but ukrainian army conducted bombardments too. When you bombard own soil killing civilians en mass, I guess it's a pretty strong argument to call it a civil war. Ofc everything is relative.
