It's not obvious to me that it's a recipe for peace and stability if every international agreement comes with an implicit "also we promise to invade everyone who doesn't comply" rider.

You either have to trust that the participants will follow the agreement, or you have to trust that the other participants will enforce the agreement.

If you have neither of those things, you have no agreement at all.

The enforcement here would presumably look like sanctions, plus materially coming to Ukraine's defense to expel the Russian invasion. I don't think anyone would seriously suggest that a counter-invasion of Russia itself would be a good idea.
