As for Russian units / weapons support / manpower support I think the west should pull an Adlai Stevenson at the UN. Call a meeting and present all of the evidence to support the claims against Russia an go from there.
I hope NATO continues to give armaments and armor to Ukraine.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, short of Putin himself holding a press conference where he admits sending troops and armor into Ukraine, you won't believe anything those who "lean west" have to say.

And there can be no doubts whatsoever that this will happen. The militia continues to provide documented evidence of Kiev’s use of NATO-standard weapons, such as Paladin M109 self-propelled howitzers, portable Javelin anti-tank weapons systems, and small arms (M16 rifles and much more).

When the separatists use innocent civilians as body shields, the burden of atrocity is on the one hiding. Sorry. Oh, and don't think that's happening?

So you support weapons are given to conduct Crimes against humanity ?

Yes, artillery has been used on a daily basis against civilians !
Speaking at a press conference today Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that any invasion of Crimea by forces loyal to the pro-West Ukrainian government will be met with strategies once used in the Soviet Union by the likes of Lenin and Stalin in which civilians would be put ahead of the defending army.
The video, with Vladimir Putin speaking in Russian, has been translated by several organizations.
Listen to me. Listen to me carefully. I want you to correctly understand me.
If we reach that decision, only if we reach that decision, it will only be for the defense of Ukrainian citizens, let anyone from the military dare shoot at their own people which we will be behind, not in front but behind, let them try and shoot at women and children.
Let me see who in the Ukraine will give such an order
The translation from RT is “We are not going to a war against the Ukrainian people,” he said. “I want you to understand it unambiguously. If we do take a decision, it would only be to protect Ukrainian citizens. Let anybody in the military dare, and they’d be shooting their own people, who would stand up in front of us. Shoot at women and children. I’d like to see anyone try and order such a thing in Ukraine.”
He is not saying to use civilians as human shields.
