Except, Ukraine violated the Minsk Treaty by carrying out a brutal war of attrition for almost a decade in the Donbass region.
So I think you're the one with the selective view of facts here. Lugansk and Donetsk had a guaranteed autonomy status and one signatory party of this was Russia.
Russia played this diplomatic role because neither autonomous region had any means of defending themselves or enforcing the treaty.
So I can't really say much about your fantasy world. Must be nice to live there I suppose.
