That's not how it works. I can't declare my house "autonomous" and ask Putin to liberate it. I mean I could, but that'd be idiotic.

If your house is a republic this is exactly how it works.

But it isn't. Neither is the DPR/LPR nonsense.

There was no genocide.

You should mention why the people of the southeast were upset with the regime change by the West in 2014 and why the regular people (and not the military) were regularly and systematically attacked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jx2O4SZnNIU

Furthermore, you should answer the question why Zelenskyy proclaimed in 2020 or 2021 to attack the southeast/Crimea and why the attacks on the southeastern region intensified from the beginning to mid February before(!) Russia intervened.

Nice attempt with your straw people, better luck next time.

Last but not least, there remains the question of what alternative options Putin has for action - after 8 years of fruitless agreements and non-compliance with the Minsk agreement by Ukraine and ultimately its escalation of military attacks. Wait and see and drink tea?

Die or otherwise go away is also a good option.
