Det är inte så lite det heller. NATO och EU äter sig närmre och närmre. Det tar inte lång tid för västpropagandan att sprida sig in i Ryssland och luckra upp samhället. Vill inte Putin detta så vill han inte det. Han agerar.

Bellinger and Dworkin have explained that Russia cannot rely on a self-defense justification because Ukraine has not threatened or attacked any other nation.[20][24] All four scholars have also suggested that even if Ukraine were planning an attack against Donetsk or Luhansk, Russia could not invoke Article 51's collective self-defense provision because these regions are not recognized as separate states under international law.[20][22][24] Allen Weiner of Stanford Law School has made a similar argument, likening Russia's collective self-defense arguments to a hypothetical situation where an entity calling itself the independent "Republic of Texas" invited a foreign government to send troops to fight against the United States.[23]
In late February 2022, Ukraine sued Russia in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The lawsuit rejects Russia's claims that Ukraine was engaging in a genocide in Donbass and requests a court order requiring Russia to immediately halt its military operations in Ukraine.[37][38] It also accuses Russia of "engag[ing] in a military invasion of Ukraine involving grave and widespread violations of the human rights of the Ukrainian people."[37] Ukraine is represented by the law firm Covington & Burling in the lawsuit.[39]
