The list of "disrespecting international law" is pretty big. The list of punishment is way shorter and highly selective.

Could you please list any other war of conquest with that much casualties, armour usage and refugee issue in Europe?

And what punishment are we talking about, voluntary economical sanctions? Those numbers of atrocities, stealing children, mass graves - I still can't understand how the international response is so mild.

This is an interesting little bit on the end of that question.

Also note “of conquest”: presumably, if the purpose of Russian invasion was to just hang Zelensky and institute a regime change with government sympathizing with Russia, and not to annex any territory, that would have been OK too.

Why is that?

What is so special about Europe?
