Only a limited number of volunteers came from Russia to help them.
Russian military units came to help one side of the conflict both openly at least at certain times, and under the guise of volunteers. The other side wasn't just people from Kyiv and Lviv and such but included local people they didn't all want to separate.

Even with a desire for separation it doesn't make it anything other than a war against Ukraine by Russia. The occupied territories in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea were both forcibly grab by Russian military power.
Georgia…. Invaded South Ossetia
Georgian territory, and this after South Ossetia de facto broke away due to an earlier Russian intervention. Russia didn't start its military involvement in Georgia in 2008, it helped the region break away earlier in the 1991-1992 war. No its not 100 percent one sided with the Georgians being pure as snow and the Russians totally evil, but from nearly the outset of Georgia's modern existence as an independent country it faced Russia bullying and intervention.

Similarly the Ukrainians are not perfect paragons of all that's good, and the Russians had reasons to be concerned, but the Russians are the aggressors, and violators of their pledge to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Both with the recent escalation, and with their earlier attacks in the east and south of Ukraine.
