I think the key thing about the response is the affirmation that Ukraine will not be invaded. Of course, Russia could very easily say that placing troops in the Donbas isn't an invasion, which does seem to be where the situation is heading.

They wouldn’t outright admit they’re going to invade Ukraine. That’d be quite silly

About that, i think you're right, that Russia could recognize the separatist republics, place troops there and say "We are just placing troops in those republic's land, it is not in Ukraine"


But, i have a feeling that Russia could use the fact that the separatist republics are claiming the whole donbass, and not only the lands they control now, to invade the rest of the donbass, and say "it's not an invasion of Ukraine, but a liberation of the independent donbass"

it's only my theory, ofc

Of course not. An outright denial though, in writing, is concrete. I'd expect the Kremlin to twist the definition of invasion now. Placing troops in the Donbas at the request of a newly recognized independent country wouldn't be considered an invasion to the Russians.
