You don't get it August...
At the end of the day people believe what they want to believe.
Most don't really care.
Russia provides enough reasonable doubt for the people to not feel compelled to the conflict or take sides for real...
That is the beauty of this all.
At the end of the day nobody wants a war over some forsaken place at the edge of the Europe so all you need is feed this stance with whatever you can.

Considering that Russian Army at the moment uses conscription - I think there is enough of people with relevant military profession available (in fact there would be thousands of conscripts every year who just finished their service in tank unit or sub unit), especially considering that Separatists are fairly open about them looking for volunteers (in fact I think they have a fairly decent infrastructure for that in Rostov I think).
