Borders aren’t fake. They are social constructs, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t important. They should because they want to live in their own nation, free from an foreign authoritarian occupier.

Putin’s argument is that he’s not a foreign occupier but is simply unifying a region that historically belongs together. That’s why one might say in this case the distinction you’re making is entirely arbitrary. We fought our civil war to keep US land from seceding, so it’s not even without precedent.
