Russia has plenty of border patrols, troops, etc. If they would want to, they could easily take their border into control. Not to mention to stop the supply of weapons and material, that they do themselves.
Or do you think that Russia has no control who walks on their land, or in or out of their borders? In normal country there would be countless polices and army troops if unofficial armed troops would walk on the streets (no matter the troops nationality). I don't think Russia is that out of normal, so it intentionally lets the rebel troops to walk freely on their land.
Russia has significant military presence at the Ukraine border, and yet they claim to have no control over it. LOL. Russia having tens of thousands troops at the border, the rebel troops are literally walking amongst Russian troops.

Of course that Russia is helping rebels, just like US is helping rebels against Asad (and Russians helped Asad) or that US helped muslims on Kosovo, and dozen another examples (and they will always deny involvement). Nothing new. There were no war until violent happenings in Kiev.Country was peaceful until that moment. What I am saying is that Russians acted weak. There was no reason to play it small , but play big, which means same what they did in Crimea. That would save lives, Ukrainian military (nazis and mercenaries) would simply run away but infrastructure and lives would be saved. Unfortunately Ukrainian lives are not important to NATO or Russia and ordinary people are paying the price.
Main looser there is Ukraine. They will feel it in incoming months but signs of that are available all over, from currency going down up to armed and masked people running around Kiev. Not to mention dead people, devastated families and ruined economy. Ukraine don't have any chance for normal life from now. Getting in any kind of fight with powerful neighbour will result is total economic disaster. Which means more dead people with lack of heating,medicaments,money.etc...
