Perhaps you should read a bit more Russian sources. There is a Minsk peace agreement, Ukraine was supposed to stop fighting, organise elections, get new government and recognise autonomous regions. Instead it continued fighting. Russia has obligation to those two autonomous regions.

For anyone else reading this, the Minsk Protocol (and, after it failed, Minsk 2) were ceasefire agreements from shortly after Russia invaded, signed 5+ years ago. They failed because they didn't do some pretty important things, like determine who controls what, so fighting continued along disputed territories.

Hard to justify saying Ukraine should follow a treaty that Russia also isn't following, after Russia's surprise invasion.
