But this region seemed to be majority Russian speaking, ethnically/culturally Russian. So there might be grassroots support in these regions to be a part of Russia.

Russia kept a naval base in Ukraine and many Russian people stationed there live in that area, along with retired military people. But that’s hardly an argument for annexation! Would the US be justified in annexing chunks of Japan or Germany or Cuba or Greenland or whathaveyou for the same reason? Absolutely not.
