The Guardian: Russian military shelled Ukraine from mid-July, report says
Moscow’s involvement in conflict has been on such a scale that strain on its military is starting to show, according to report by Royal United Services Institute
Large-scale intervention in eastern Ukraine by regular Russian troops began last August, reaching a peak of 10,000 in December, and Moscow has been struggling to maintain operations on such a scale and intensity, according to a report.
The report, by the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi), claims small teams of reconnaissance and Spetsnaz special operations units crossed the border earlier, in mid-July after Ukrainian government forces had won a series of battles and had pushed pro-Moscow separatists out of territory they had previously occupied.

Fusion,
MIC think tank reports arevalways written to support the Policy.
The UK's policy is that with a handful of new arms and a little training, the UAF and the National Guard can retake the Donbass and Crimea,
Therefore, Russia "must" be struggling to support the Donbass,
Otherwise, the Official Government line is insane, counterproductive and useless.
As the Official Government line cannot be called insane, counterproductive and useless, with out RUSI losing their funding,
Russia must be struggling.
