The Donbas republics want to leave Ukraine! The people there are ethnic Russians who have voted in referendums to leave the country. The ethnic Russian population in eastern Uktain have been shelled by artilley, aimed at them by Aziv Nazis for the last 8 years.
What Russia would want them to give up is the part of the country that have democratically asserted that they want to be independent of Ukraine. Russia recognized the idpependance of the Donbas republics and entered the region in part to support their struggle (in coincides with other important geopolitical aims of the Russian Federation, chiefly Ukraine not entering NATO).
Now how does this equal "Ukraine winning and getting their country back?" The people of Donbas have been being killed and voted for their idpependance from Ukraine. Why do you want to force the people of the Donbas to be reunited to people who have been killing them?
