That belongs to the people of Donetsk, not Russia. If they choose to sell it to Russia, that's their business.
Well, yes and no. The Donbas states would absolutely be Russian client states beholden to Russian goodwill.
Still, it's a pretty mild deal considering the stakes.
Okay and? That doesn't really change anything. Who else are they going to sell it to? Ukraine?
If they forgave the Ukranian state for murdering 14,000 of their people over 8 years, if it's even the same state later at the end of this war, then sure. That's their business as a self-determining state.
Sure it is in theory, but you can't really deny that Russia would have a lot of sway over the tiny state on its border that only really exists because of its military intervention.
I also can't deny that the imperialist states denies their existence and as such will force them to make deals where they can since they're not recognized as sovereign peoples republics.
That's basically what I just said
No it's not.
Does not mean
Russia is acting knowing that they won't be recognised.
No, Russia acted because Ukraine's jingoistic government, that's extremely hostile to Russia, was demanding to join NATO and to become a nuclear power. The interests of the Donbass Republics to fight for their separation from the genocidal fascist-aligned Ukrainian state simply aligned with the Russian Federation's interest to not have a genocidal fascist-aligned Ukranian state enter into NATO and have the imperialist powers right at their door.
