Full blown civil war? You are a joker.
If the separatists are not backed by Russia they will not survive any Ukraine army assault.
If civil war then the Russian army is the ghost of Moscow. Man, Putin has committed the entire land army into the full flown war against Ukraine. Special military operation only exists in his weird head. Putin next step is full general mobilization.

(S+) Krieg in der Ukraine: Deutsche Kanonen könnten russisches Territorium beschießen
Mit einigen der schweren Waffen aus deutschen Beständen könnte die Ukraine theoretisch auch russisches Gebiet angreifen. Politisch wäre das besonders heikel. Wie wahrscheinlich das ist.

Ukraine ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, asks Germany for lend lease act, similar to the US lend lease act.
"This bill temporarily waives certain requirements related to the President's authority to lend or lease defense articles if the defense articles are intended for Ukraine's government or the governments of other Eastern European countries affected by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
For FY2022 and FY2023, an agreement to lend or lease defense articles under this bill shall not be subject to certain requirements and provisions that typically apply to such lend-lease agreements, including a requirement that generally prohibits a loan or lease period from exceeding five years.
The President must establish expedited procedures to ensure the timely delivery of defense articles loaned or leased to Ukraine under this bill."

Not anymore. They are so pathetic, we wipe them out in Ukraine
The destruction of the Ukrainian radar for illumination and guidance of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system by the Russian operational-tactical complex "Iskander-K" was published by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
Deliveries of Western weapons to Ukraine continue. At the railway station in Stuttgart, Germany, a batch of military equipment sent to Ukraine was found. A German Pzh 2000 SPG equipped with a 155-mm cannon and an American MLRS m270 multiple launch rocket system were spotted on the platform. The Pzh 2000 self-propelled guns are considered one of the best, but there is one problem, the installation has a NATO caliber, so Ukraine will have to look for shells for this weapon in other countries, it does not produce such a caliber. With the MLRS m270 multiple launch rocket system adopted in 1983, the same problem, there are no missiles that are located in rechargeable containers in Ukraine.
Tank battle of a Russian tank with the T-64 of Ukraine. As reported, the Ukrainian tank T-64BV decided to support the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who took up defense in the hangars with fire. Having advanced to the battlefield, he fired several shots at the Russian tank and, having missed, decided to retreat. By return fire from a Russian tank, the T-64 of Ukraine was hit,
two crew members left the burning tank, which is unknown with the third.

Reporting from Lviv, Ukraine
Malcolm Nance, a U.S. Navy veteran serving in Ukraine’s International Legion, contrasted the war in Ukraine with the American invasion of Iraq. “You’re the hunted now,” he said.Credit...Finbarr O'Reilly for The New York Times
The deaths of three foreigners killed this week while fighting with Ukrainian forces has drawn renewed attention to thousands of largely unregulated volunteers who have gone to fight Russia’s invasion, some of them accepted into an international legion.
Among the dead was Willy Joseph Cancel Jr., 22, a correctional officer and a Marine Corps veteran who left Kentucky to fight with the Ukrainian army, his uncle said.
Mr. Cancel’s father was told that the former Marine had been killed when his Ukrainian unit was overrun by Russian troops this week, the uncle, Christopher Cancel, said. His body had not yet been recovered.
A Ukrainian Defense Ministry official confirmed on Friday that an American, a Briton and a Dane had been killed fighting with the Ukrainian Army’s International Legion. The official asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the deaths.
“The armed forces pay tribute to the sacrifice of the foreign heroes who have come to protect the Ukrainian people from this barbarous invasion but also to defend freedom and democracy everywhere,” the legion said in a statement.
Malcolm Nance, a Navy intelligence veteran and former TV commentator who is now the public face of the legion, called the volunteers who died “protecting angels, along with all those people who lost their lives in this senseless Russian invasion.”
In an interview before the foreign fighters were killed, Mr. Nance said many would-be volunteers arriving in the country underestimated the danger from Russian forces. He said the war was unlike what American veterans may have experienced in the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq.
“You’re the hunted now,” he said. “And it is a full combined arms army with an enormous artillery machine that is there to chew you up.”
Ukraine and Russia have each had steep military losses, though their governments have not given specific figures. In mid-April, U.S. intelligence agencies estimated that 5,500 to 11,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed, and more than 18,000 wounded. Western intelligence agencies estimate that Russian military losses range from 7,000 to 10,000 killed and 20,000 to 30,000 wounded.
The United Nations says at least 2,300 civilians have also been killed, acknowledging the actual number is likely much higher.
After signing up a rush of volunteers at the start of the war, the International Legion recently has become much more selective in recruiting members, taking only those with combat experience who pass rigorous vetting, according to the legion’s spokesman, Damien Magrou, a Norwegian lawyer.
Mr. Magrou said the legion rejects a majority of applicants, but some of those who are turned down make their way to the front lines anyway, hoping to find another group to fight with.
“We tell them there is a shuttle bus back to Poland, the best thing you can do is get a seat on it,” he said.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine announced the formation of the legion on Feb. 27, three days after the invasion began, and invited foreign volunteers to come and fight. Ten days later the Ukrainian government said it had received 20,000 applications.
The government has declined to say how many foreign volunteers there are in the country, but there are believed to be several thousand, most of them fighting with groups other than the International Legion.
It was not clear when Mr. Cancel joined the legion. According to the Marine Corps, he left the U.S. military last November after receiving a bad conduct discharge and serving time in a military jail for an undisclosed criminal offense.
Fighters accepted by the International League sign a contract to fight with the Ukrainian army and are paid the same rate as Ukrainian soldiers.
In Lviv, in western Ukraine, train and bus stations have become hubs not only for Ukrainians, but also for Americans and other foreigners arriving to join the fight or help with aid efforts.
Dominick Henry, a businessman from New York City who was recently in Ukraine helping with logistics for volunteers, said he tried to channel most of the new arrivals into humanitarian operations.
“Usually when Americans go fight they’ve got air support, they’ve got everything,” he said. “This time it’s the opposite.”
He said many of those who came to Ukraine to fight the Russians were disappointed when they were rejected by combat forces.
“They come for glory and honor,” said Mr. Henry. “They think it will give them a leg up in life. It’s a heavy price to pay.”
