I fail to see how this will end the persecution of the Russian people in Donbass, Ukraine and the west in general (censoring comments on western forums is just one of its more innocent aspects). And in Izyum and Kupyansk, when the ukranian forces reentered, they executed Russian people living there thought not to be loyal, of which of course you heard nothing, but I did (and not only there).

I fail to see how absorption into Russian Federation would do anything other than significantly worsen the human rights situation in Donbas, given that freedom rankings place Russia near North Korea, Somalia and Iran.
