I see your education is based on Russian brainwash instead of general education. So I’m glad I can help you out here.

They're responding to a call for aid from the Donbas Republics, and have been fighting to eject Ukrainians from the Donbas Republics.
This is pure Russian propaganda. Do you know how the second world war started? Nazi Germany faked an attack on their own country which was performed by Germans. This was the reason for Hitler to attack Poland.
The so called Donetsk People’s Republic is occupied by Russian and is factually Ukranian territory.
Just a quick reminder that Russia is striking targets all over Ukraine (Odessa, Lviv, Myolaiv etc. →

the Maidan Revolution was the violent conquest of the Ukrainian government by pro-west rebels who declared themselves the new government, undemocratically
Pro-west rebels? Since when are ukrainian people rebels? The Maidan protests are a result of Yanukovich trying to cut ties with an EU association agreement. The Ukranian people disapproved that and as a result the Ukranian parliament voted 328-0 to remove Yanukovich as president.
If there is anything anti democratic then it’s Yanukovich switching from a liberal, pro European position, for which he has been elected, to a corrupt, cryonistic and suppressive regime. That’s why the protests from Maidan started. And Yanukovich had no backing among the Ukrainian population anymore.

The Donbas Republics and Crimea refused to bow down to the new and improved, self-proclaimed overlords.
This almost sounds like sci-fi. I already suggest you take an independent history book to get your facts straight. There was no bowing down, people lived in peace until Russia invaded the country for no reason. The only reason is that he wants to eradicate every free speech and democratic values in Ukraine because he despises them. The same he does in Russia were he puts people in jail just for holding up a white flag.

The current "war" involves the Donbas Republics, who have been under invasion by the "government" in Kiev since 2014.
Again nonsense. Try find a valid source for this but other than conspiracy sites you won’t find any. You should really check your general education. I would want to find an answer to this but this statement is so ridiculous I can’t start anywhere to begin with.

Kiev has failed to conquer the Republics to this point, and therefore has no right to claim rulership over them.
Ukraine conquering their own territory? That statement is so wrong in itself it’s hilarious.
It was, is and always will be Ukranian territory. The Russian invasion is not recognized by anybody in the world except by Russian neoimperialist Putin.

The officials of the Republics formally requested aid, then Protectorate Status from Russia.
Wrong, the „officials“ who are ruling the country have been installed by Russia. There is no freedom of speech and no democracy there at this point, just like in Russia.
The unrest was created by Russian military and intelligence:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_pro-Russian_unrest_in_Ukraine All of what you can read there is a evidence for a Russian invasion rather than a call for help.

Yet when and how are they doing so?
Are you living under a rock? Have you not been following any media outlet in the last 2 years? There are million sources that clearly depict that Russia has invaded Ukraine and they’d probably go beyond that, invading other countries as well when they have conquered all of Ukraine.

They're fighting to remove Ukrainian invaders from the Donbas Republics.
Donbas is Ukranian territory. Russia is trying to take it by force. That’s why Ukranians are fighting back. Anything else is Russian propaganda.
I don’t know how you can believe this nonsense, living in a country like America which allows access to independant information.
Did you know that Polish people are living in former German territory that was given to them as a result of Germany losing the 2nd world war? And Russia took territory from Poland. Do Germany or Poland have the right to reclaim their territory? No. Has it ever been historically theirs? Yes.
It’s just so easy to tear apart your misinformation, please give me more so I can debunk your falsehoods.
