Putin speaking now

Talking about how Ukraine was made by and exists because of Russia. We are not off to a rosy start.

So recognizing them as an independent country doesn't make either of those states/territories independent countries, and they'd still belong to the Ukraine?
Think of it this way, when the 13 colonies declared independence from Great Britain, they began effectively governing themselves with no more control from Britain. Britain of course didn't recognize their independence and the American Revolutionary War took place until the Treaty of Paris was signed which officially saw Great Britain recognize the US as an independent government. However between 1776 and 1783 there were several outside nations that recognized American independence, such as the Netherlands.

In this case, Ukraine is the UK, Donetsk and Luhansk are the 13 colonies and Russia is the Netherlands.

I'm not quite sure how to parse this insane rant about history and communism, but it kinda sounds like he's angling toward saying that Ukraine should no longer exist

Good God, it's just incomprehensible.

They've been fucking around in bits of the eastern end of Ukraine for at least six years now. All an "invasion" means is open annexation at this point, because the invading part already happened.

He can, but only if Biden does quite possibly the dumbest thing he can possibly do and sign a treaty guaranteeing Ukraine will never join NATO and removing all US troops from eastern europe like Russia wants.
