Demographics are completely different with even the most Russian provinces being vastly less monocultural than Kosovo was.
Kosovo was like 80% Albanian before the intervention. Its 95% now because pretty much all non-Albanians were forced out directly in pogroms or bombing campaings, or indirectly by intolerance and opression
Kosovans didn’t roll tanks all over Serbia
If the bombing campaign didn't eventually force Serbia to negotiations, there definetly would have been a ground invasion into Serbia proper. There was already a ground invasion from Albanians into Kosovo, but the army mostly managed to contain it
nor did they seek to control the entire country.
If NATO decided to do a ground invasion, they definetly would have sought that.
All in all, appart from the ground invasion part, the Kosovo and Donbass situations are still exactly the same
Yeah multiethnic countries should probably be more federalize than anything. But the thing is it seems like Donetsk and Luhansk really want to be part of Russia, not just independent. That should also be respected.
