Russia is not trying to annex (the whole of) Ukraine, at least that’s what they say. My understanding is that Russia wants a neutral buffer zone between themselves and NATO. This is basically Putin’s negotiation conditions. Putin isn’t even asking Ukraine to join CSTO, if I understand correctly.

Just like its predecessor Warsaw Pact, CSTO has exclusively invaded its own member countries. It's probably the worst organization you'd want to join
