Removal of the word "alleged" before the "Russia-backed separatists" part

So, there's an ongoing edit-warring regarding the issue described in the topic heading, and I'm forced to discussed the reasoning that's already been discussed on a talk page of another article. Russian backing of separatists on the east of Ukraine has been also confirmed by multiple reliable sources in the relevant article, and in the source added to the current article by me (and reverted again by a disruptive editor). So what is the reasoning for calling Russia-backed separatists "alleged"?--Piramidion 14:28, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an abstract of a consensus lead section of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine article:

In April, demonstrations by pro-Russian groups in the Donbass area of Ukraine escalated into an armed conflict between the Ukrainian government and the Russia-backed separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. In August, Russian military vehicles crossed the border in several locations of Donetsk Oblast.[1][2][3][4][5]
