Not to mention that since 2022 this hasn't been about just the Donbas any more.

Indeed, last I checked Crimea wasn't part of the Donbas either. This has never been about "protecting the self determination" of regions that so conveniently want to be invaded by Russia (according to Russia).

Are you saying Crimeans want to be part of Ukraine?

I'm saying that Crimea isn't part of the Donbas.

Ok. I misunderstood why you contrasted with Crimea.
