Yeah not so much.
I know, it's a complex situation. But there's a lot of spin too.
It'd be good to try to keep all the moral equivocating and the "but they did it too!" out of it. If Mexico had an election we didn't like and we were down there with the 101st Airborne, perhaps. There might be a close parallel. But otherwise you end up debating binding United Nations Security Council resolutions, the violation of the treaty that ended the first Gulf War, and so on. Nobody's going to agree on all of that, so you can't draw the clear parallels you'd like. Sorry.
If you want to dive down to just another level of complexity and talk about international treaties. Ukraine was promised that this would not happen by both Russia and the major world powers when it gave up its nuclear weapons. Russia is in violation of its own word. Not so much with the 17 zillion other examples of other countries invading each other.
