Russia could make it clear to the rebels that they'll get no support whatsoever, alternatively just annex the Donbass like it did Crimea.
Unfortunately it's the gas what bothers those in power not the people.
But the good thing is that russian people seem to go there mostly not for money. And I know some people here who offer a room for refugees for free (they even give them some money for food).

When in reality regular soldiers for the most part want nothing to do with it
What about regular soldiers besides the link i provided above, there a lot of blood chilling stories even in Ukrainian press. Even brainwashed ukrainins understand now that they are just a cannon fodder for Kiev

And I wander who was that idiot to send a big cargo plane without any tactical assistance to an airport surrounded by enemy?
