While that is true. Russian peacekeepers have been in Nagorny-Karabakh since 2020. They failed to keep the peace.
Perhaps keeping the peace is above their station.
Framing this as a Russian failure is pretty low IQ. I know you're just parroting the language of what western MSM says which basically frames everything Russia does as a failure but think about it for a second.
There are dozens of examples where the UN or other countries have 'failed' to keep a peace in some peace-keeper role ranging from UK, France, US, many others. It's been happening many times all across Africa. It goes something like this: there's some peace keepers from country/organization A. Usually there's like a handful of them and even if they wanted to stop something they would get overwhelmed by the actual attackers in the immediate. So what does 'stopping' it actually mean in this case? Well it means that when the Azeris moved and started firing on Armenian ethnics in Nagorno, the Russians would fire back. Now that's completely unrealistic because then it would create a much bigger problem and headache in the region.
In reality these are small contingent forces which are very limited and almost always in defensive postures. Go watch Hotel Rwanda to give you an example of how effective the UN was at defending anyone. It's dramatization but one of the better illustrations how much power these peace keepers actually have.
