As seen in many other cases, Russian officials categorically deny crimes which after a few years they starts admitting to publicly, or just start awarding medals to their people for participation in them. Russian participation in the war in Donbas was very well documented by journalists on the both sides of the border and OSCE Special Monitoring Mission, while Western countries continued to use euphemisms like 'pro-Russian forces' to describe professional Russian spetsnaz or tank units, using modern Russian weapons and ammunition delivered from Russia for over eight years. No wonder Putin felt encouraged by such impunity and decided to escalate much further!
