Playing devil's advocate here, it could be anyone, anywhere. The green is used by Ukrainian forces as well, like some other greenish colour schemes , too. An identification of the T-72 model I would find difficult due to the low resolution of the video.

Could be anyone, anywhere. Only the structure, unit spacing and composition of the column gives a hint that it probably is no militia or separtist volunteers, but a unit with military structure and disciplined training background.
