The Ukrainian regions would not be annexed in this situation, annexation has come to mean a one-sided act of through invasion and seizure.
The deep state rags use the term annexation to impose the concept of one-sided violent aggression from Russia. The general concept of annexation is an administrative term of one region absorbing another without the negative connotations, but it has come to be defined as conquest in international politics.
That is far from the case as we know, the situation is more that Ukraine is the Abuser, Donbass/Lugansk/Crimea are the Victims since the 2014 US-backed coup that overthrew their democratically-elected government to install Nazi war criminals, and Russia is the father trying to get their people out of an abusive situation.
Each region held a referendum to leave Ukraine. They seceded from Ukraine and are applying to become part of the Russian Federation. This is primarily a concern of secession.
