Of course Russia has been supplying weapons, military vehicles and troops into Eastern Ukraine. The idea that the local population of miners rose up to seize tanks and anti-aircraft equipment and fight off the Ukrainian military is ludicrous.
These Russian vehicles are not used by the Ukrainian military, and their presence inside Ukraine would be compelling evidence Russia has sent military vehicles into Ukraine. However, it has been impossible to find the position this video was filmed, so it has not been possible to confirm this was filmed inside Ukraine.

Operating inside Ukraine, as it is observed by Ukraine government and the West.
Yesterday a new image of a BPM-97 reportedly inside Ukraine was posted online by various sources.
Edit: contrary to the article claiming this, the cabling is similar, but does not match. They don't change day to day usually.

They do when you don't want to identified as being Russian military.
More video keeps leaking onto the Net showing more and more Russian military units operating inside Ukraine.
So they change the power, telephone and whatever else, cables, just to disguise a vehicle being in the Russian military. You did read the article and know that I am referencing the power cables on the utility poles right?

The orientation of the months earlier Yandex maps photo isn't the same as the Social media photo. In the cabling photo you don't have trolley lines and the other you do have them. Not a surprise as the buildings are oriented differently as well in both photos.
Not a surprise given two photos being compared months apart from different spots at the same location.

It makes it seem like you are ready to dismiss anyone that disagrees with you and your stance without willing to look at any other viewpoints, imo, very narrow minded and insulting to anyone that doesn't agree with you. Just my 2 cents.

Just a question then, if nothing is a surprise, what are you going by when you believe this photo is legit when there is only the one blog stating what your thread is about? If you say his word then that is fine, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Do I doubt that Russia is operating in Ukraine, no. I just don't think they would be this obvious about it.
The BPM-97 has never been sold to Ukraine from Russia. You would know that if you actually read the article I gave the link to however.
The gall and incredible hypocrisy of any in The West who would criticize Russia for supplying arms to fellow ethnic Russians while at the same time supplying weapons and arms to Islamic terrorists with a straight face is simply mind-blowing.
