Of course, Ukraine can talk all they want (and they are).
At some point, though, boots on the ground matter more than words.
The Russians have evidently reached that point.
As best I can tell, this conflict was entirely, completely, utterly avoidable simply by Ukraine following the terms of the Minsk agreements[0], voted on unanimously by the UN (including Ukraine and Russia).
Why Ukraine chose not to live up to their written agreements is anyone's guess. In hindsight, it looks pretty stupid. It's almost like—when you don't live up to your word—people stop caring what you have to say.

Huh. Well then, too bad Russia's fucking the invasion up so utterly. Whatever replaces them will be a whole lot worse for it.

This is also the conflict that brings us the phrase "Little Green Men", and later the destruction of flight MH-17. Russia has continually played a major part in escalating this conflict just has been done recently where they have gone to full-scale invasion.
