>What if they use this situation and help Ukraine to put down the separatists in Donetsk and Lugansk?
>Is Ukraine even strong enough to do that?
No, Ukraine isn't that strong.
Actually Ukrainian army was successful even in 2014 against DNR/LNR and pushed them very far, sometimes to the border. They've did it relatively slow, but main reason was not LDNR defenses but poor state on Ukrainian army. It was inevitable than in few months rebellion will end.
But at one moment things suddenly changed and UA was driven back and suffered several serious strategic defeats. Everyone know what happened, and I guess you know too. And those who deny what happened rarely deny it sincerely. Now UA became stronger but still didn't do any serious offensives only because these events will happen again if they'll do.
Sanctions couldn't prevent that because they did not prevent previous events. Especially considering that EU isn't that anti-Russian as it portrayed (just look at Germany with NS2), and Biden's administration also talks more than does. Ukrainian offense can happen only if they'd have some secret agreement with Russia about non-intervention.
Maybe something will change in future, but recent events didn't show any changes in situation.
