You don't have to make up speculative reasons. Avoiding brutal ethnic cleansing is more than enough reason to fight.

Being invaded is enough reason to fight.

avoiding brutal ethnic cleansing . . . like what Russia said was one of their main reasons for launching the SMO?

Yeah. The Russians propaganda machine lied about that.

Russians aren't necessarily supportive of Russia. They had a home and they had security in Ukraine.

Current global consensus is, much like those in Crimea, they have a home in Ukraine.

It's stretching "self-determination" to cover being invaded and annexed by a foreign power.

you skipped the part where they were attacked

No. That's the bit I mentioned: "being invaded and annexed by a foreign power."

and the part where they voted

Ahh. "Voted". Where neither of the options was to remain in the Ukraine.
