If Russia was allowed to annex Ukraine with no military resistance... would this not certainly encourage more invasions/annexations in the future between various countries? Would this not result in more violence in the long run?

In fact, Russia's successful invasion of Georgia in 2008 - during which the West basically just said "omg plz don't" - did exactly that.
