Putin is trying to escalate the violence in Eastern Ukraine so the Ukrainian military is forced to use more force. Then he will swoop in and annex like he did Crimea in the name of protecting civilians.

I can see that being the case but shooting down Ukrainian jets over Ukrainian airspace from Russia would be brazen and dangerous given the potential international reaction. Seems as though there is much more to lose unless he's seeking a much larger portion of Ukraine and is willing to risk the international backlash associated with directly provoking state to state military conflict.

Ukraine is def already using the total war approach. A lot of people are not realizing the rebels shelling just as much and even hit the people the claim are liberating.
