International relations does not differentiate between Ukraine and Libya in terms of sovereignty. To deny one is to deny the other as both are internationally recognized states.

Who denied Libya sovereignty?

Maybe I'm missing some information, but I don't recall any NATO member ever stating that Libya shouldn't exist, or anything like that.

There are only the rules we choose.

I'm not saying they are different according to the conventions of international relations. I'm saying that ethically speaking, I think they are different.

The big difference is that Ukraine is a democracy run by the people. Gaddafi's Libya was a dictatorship.
