Russia invaded Ukraine. Just like Palestine, it it has a right to defend its sovereignty (albeit Palestine has ~80 years of a right to do this, compared to Ukraine’s ~15).
Remember that working class people are suffering from these capitalist wars. They did not choose this
Edit: Also, how is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine not imperialist?
If that were the whole truth you would have a point (at least for Donetsk and Luhansk, not all of Ukraine), but the extent to which Russia was involved in the separatist movement calls their popular support into question. It’s not all that different from how the US gives support to dissident groups in countries it’s interested in destabilizing, except in scale.
I think it’s also worth noting that the pro-Russia separatists are far-right extremists, which I think is quite an inconvenient fact for Russia given their “de-Nazification” justification for invading Ukraine.

How is it like Palestine? Did the Palestinians in Gaza vote in 2014 to join Israel like the Russians in Russian speaking Eastern Ukraine did?
Pretty sure I explained it in my comment. Sovereignty.
