The key aspect of Minsk was that it was not put into practice. The annexation of Austria by Germany was fully put into practice and accepted by other states.
From the perspetive of democracies it seems kinda reasonable to try one time a peaceful resolution accepting a conquest and see if Putin stops
Ukraine didn’t try. They didn’t pass the laws that Minsk called for. They did pass laws to discriminate against the Russian-speaking population. They said that they wanted to retake Crimea sooner or later. Ukraine never accepted losing any territory to Russia.
I expect many reasons to invade other adjacent countries to come up aswell.
I don’t see why we should ignore reasons. Georgia seems to be willing to produce reasons to be invaded. Maybe, Georgia shouldn’t pass such laws? If you are worried about being invaded under the pretext of removing civil rights, maybe not remove civil rights?
I don’t think any of the EU countries that border Russia have a situation that’s remotely similar in either reasons to invade or in ability to launch a promising invasion against them by Russia.
