If such an argument was even remotely valid, then Ukraine/EU/UK/NATO/US/UN would have no problems whatsoever with the Referenda going on given the US and NATO split apart Serbia to create Kosovo with a referendum and force of arms.

What? Your argument makes no sense.

The fact that countries in a fight for existence routinely ask for as much assistance as they can has nothing to do with various political entities considering some referenda as valid or not.
