I wouldn't call it war. As soon as the Ukrainian army enters the Donbass they are history, leaving a lot of smoldering remains of tanks in the field.
They are planning to attack Crimea. They want to withdraw from Minsk Agreement.
I think Crimea is save, they couldn't sell it to the West that an attack was self defense. But they will try to kill as many Donbass residents as possible to provoke an action from the Russians. If Russia ignores it, this will weaken Putin inside Russia and as a guarantor of peace treaties worldwide. If Russia reacts visible, Kiev will ask NATO for help and NATO can say they stop an invasion (and Kiev can retaliate against Crimea). If Russia reacts invisible (most likely), it may be enough - like it was last time - or maybe not. My bet is still on the Russians. The government in Kiev doesn't act in the interest of the Ukraine, they just want some USAID money flowing into their private bank accounts.
My bet is that there will be an uprising. This way Russia will not be blamed... too much.
The Ukraine has been Russian for 1000 years, Kiev is the first capital of the Russians, for hundreds of years, which fell to the Mongols, leading to the eventual creation of Moscow. Whatever goes on there is literally the very definition of a Russian internal matter.
Say Washington DC was overrun by the Mexicans, so the US capital was moved to Philadelphia. Several hundred years after those events, long after the US was restored, one day a group of local corrupt individuals stages a coup in DC with Chinese help, and then says they want DC to become part of China... and then China says they are offering military supplies and drill instructors to the coup government.
Does the US military then go in there and slaughter everybody?
That's the insanity of the Ukraine.
The only reason Moscow is showing restraint is precisely because the Ukrainians are also Russians.
Russia is policing the conflict.
Biden just sent a shipment of Humvees to Odessa.
Maybe the Russians will start arming Texas in reply.
You should add that they invented a new language (based on a slang that was used by a small minority) and forced people to use it.
Ebonics?
