The Soviet Union seeded many of its territories with Russians and promoted Russian speakers. While often ethnically cleansing the area of the people who had lived there Absolutely not, but no one in the international community, Europe, Nato or the US made any attempt to stop the bloodshed in the Donbas. It was a war in Donbas, not a one sided slaughter. A war largly instigated by Russia and which included active Russian army participation. No one took active military measures to stop it because doing so would mean war with Ukraine or Russia or both depending on exactly what you did. As for steps short of war Russia was sanctioned (although that was more about Crimea), and no one other than maybe Russia wanted to sanction Ukraine for trying to keep control of its own territory.
