You're retreading the exact same ground that I already went over with Grapho in this same thread
You handwaved it away and deflected back to your State department bullet points and atrocity propaganda.
Fact: there was a US financed coup.
Fact: states have a right to secede under Ukrainian law by referendum, and they exercised that right when their sovereignty was violated
Fact: sovereign nations have a right to request aid from their allies. Donetsk and Lugansk exercised that right when Ukrainian Nazis refused to abide by the many ceasefires Russia helped to negotiate.
