There is no evidence of contract professional soldiers at the scene, in the first place, so your precious Vlad won't bother.

Hilarious! Western journalists are definetly more aware of situation than COIN HQ and Poroshenko himself.
I don't exactly know what your point is but when regular Russian troops come over the border in number (regardless of what they call themselves or are wearing) the fighting spirit and ability of the Ukrainians will be directly measurable by counting the number of full body bags heading back east. And if the Ukrainians were to be given more than adequate numbers of good weapons by us the prospect of that number of body bags being large may dissuade Vlad. Good for the Ukrainians, good for Russian mothers. Everybody is happy.
