They could have, but why? You have to hold and police the lands you take. The Donbass has people who are willing to help. Western Ukraine doesn't. His ultimate objective is going to be protecting the Russian border. Spreading his troops out throughout Ukraine as a police force doesn't serve that objective.
Good point.
