it was a (only?) "short and easy" true territory annexation after wwii.

Very different from Vietnam and other wars that you listed.

Certainly far from "only". The Indonesian annexation of East Timor and the Moroccan "Green March" on Western Sahara also come to mind.

True but arguably due to very specific favourable circumstances for the RU side. This stands in stark contrast with the ongoing war in Eastern Ukraine. Like WW1, this is a war of attrition, but perhaps less intense.
