Also Ukraine’s history with Russia is not like other communist countries Russia added to the CCCP post war. Many Russians considered Ukraine part of Russia, and many Ukrainians consider themselves Russian. It’s not like a hostile invasion, if it were to happen, a decent % of the populace may welcome it.
In regards to US concessions regarding Cuba, apart from removing their nuclear weapons from Turkey, and not invading Cuba, I’m not aware of any others made by the US

NATO/the USA aren’t proposing to site nuclear missiles in Ukraine, which is what the Soviets were going to do in Cuba in the 60s.

It’s an invasion - nothing more, nothing less.
The Russian troops aren’t "peacekeepers", they’re invaders.
