The point is, when there are Polish troops being killed in Ukraine, you can't ask them if they were there on their own, or if they are are there under instructions from Poland. They don't answer when you ask them. They are dead. But if they were alive and you asked them, what would they say? And where would you get the info regarding what they said so that you could trust the truth?
The point is, Russia is easily strong enough right now, with Oreshnic, to wipe out Western Europe if that were her goal. And she could probably take out the US with her standard, ages-old ICBM's.
Russia wants to trade with the world... not destroy the world, and get herself destroyed at the same time.

Dude, North Korean government send 12,000 troops to fight for Russia including around 500 officers and three generals. Also there are lot of Chinese mercenaries are fighting for Russia.
I wonder when you realize that there has been mercenaries from all over the world fighting for Ukraine already. That's the point of mercenaries, they travel across the world to fight, as that pays well. From Finland as well.
If Russia wouldn't want to escalate tensions in the world, they probably would not try to trigger all the Nato countries by invading Ukraine and constantly violating borders of other countries.
So a military block keeps expanding closer and closer to your borders
Back in 2008
Secretary of State Rice, Merkel's security adviser Heusgen and others stood at a bar table. Russia by itself is just one country, the American argued, according to participants, whereas Russia plus Ukraine and Belarus is an empire. She stressed that such an empire, once established, would once again seek to dominate Europe, and that the Kremlin would again pursue an aggressive foreign policy.
Then in 2013
US supports a coup of democratically elected government in Ukraine with the third highest US politician giving out cookies
And then there are sudden civil unrests in two main remaining countries still under Russia's sphere Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
Now, I can see how
"If Russia wouldn't want to escalate tensions in the world, they probably would not try to trigger all the Nato countries by invading Ukraine" would be an easy selling point to the uneducated in the west, after all the masses wouldn't even think or cared to consider the other side, what would happen to Russia, the root cause of this all, or why Russia wouldn't even consider invading Ukraine in 2012 and what happened since then? The problem i have is with governments. Surely their think tanks, analysts running prediction models, their ministries of external affairs, their ambassadors, foreign relations... all knew exactly what they were doing and the red lines they were crossing, yet they still decided to go ahead and push Ukraine to suicide itself on a tiny chance that Russia would accept this and willingly quietly just wither away.
But my biggest questions are whether back then those in power in Ukraine were just blindly used as willing idiots, or they realized what they were bringing their people into and their roll in all of this
And after Trump said
"In any event, I wish both Countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!" and
Top EU diplomat warns Trump that Europe can’t shoulder Ukraine war burden alone...“He was the one who promised to stop the killing,” Kallas said. “So it can’t be on us.” what people are thinking still pushing Ukraine to continue to fight?

Russia is often telling that they're fighting alone against whole NATO, but actually, it's very far from true. If there would be invovlement of whole NATO, scenario of this war would be different.
While Russia is far from being alone. North Korea is only third part in this war that have sent their troops. And don't forget that Russia is using missiles and drones supplied from Iran and North Korea.
Mercenaries or volunteers is already different story. They come to this war from all corners of world, but none of them weren't sent by governments officially.
Ah yes mercenaries, great plausible deniability i believed peaked by US with Backwater in Afghanistan. But you're muddying up the water, the all important question is how many mercenaries are fighting for one side and how many for the other and from what countries?
