Why don't the Russian Separatists just leave and go to Russia?

They're so close. Are they just that much of a holes that they want to force the whole country to be part of Russia?

I guess I should specify that I refer only to the violent ones

Why don't you just leave your state/country? Where you were born, where you study/work and pay taxes? Where your parents/relatives live? Where your home is? Where your kids are? WHY?

The Pro-Russian insurrectionists, freedom fighters, (whatever your sentiment is), are not obligated to relinquish their homelands and depart. They have the inherent inalienable sacrosanct right to defend their soil of habitation, kin-Volk, and sovereignty from those belligerents who seek on infringing upon it. As an American citizen, I detest how the current US government-cronies are seeking to imbue further diplomatic trepidation and inspire more animosity/international admonishment which in turn, reproaches "our" country.

Why can't they leave there where they were born? It's their homeland and they fighting for their home.

It's the locals. Why should they leave?

They have lived in eastern Ukraine all their lives and their families have been there a long time. A better question to ask- is if there can be a peaceful solution.
