For a country to officially start condemning or placing blame on Russia there would have to be irrefutable evidence I'd say. I wouldn't want to get into a seriously heated conflict without being 100% sure, so even 99% wouldn't be good enough if I were in the driver seat. Result being people all standing around, shifty-eyed, 99% sure Russia and the separatists are behind the shooting, no one dares throw the first punch with 99% certainty.

But what kind of evidence do you consider irrefutable? This is a murky situation where officially there are no russian soldiers in Ukraine and the 'separatists' are just volunteers who happen to have military training and access to russian weapons. You know, nothing special, such things happen in every country.
