Yes... and no. These are separatists who are operating with the support of Russia, and are (obviously) puppet states for Russia now that Russia is going to be sending "peacekeeping forces" within their territory.

Actually, the fact that there aren't Taiwanese separatists for China is probably a disappointment.
