That is a bit of less-than-bad news in this situation, it means that the Ukrainians are not immediately going to be regarded as “Invaders” on “foreign” territory.

True. But that also doesn’t rule out the separatists launching a military offensive to grab more Ukrainian territory, which Russia might well choose to recognize as their new “currently controlled borders”.
