It seems experts in the area disagree with you and you still haven't explained how it was justified under "Humanitarian Intervention"....or are you just parroting what Putin said in February 2022 ?

Comparisons to Western interventions in other countries

Russia has also tried to justify its invasion of Ukraine by comparing its actions to interventions by the United States and its allies during the Kosovo War, the Iraq War, the Libyan Crisis, and the Syrian civil war. These comparisons have been dismissed as irrelevant because one illegal act does not make a different act legal.[1][4][7] Professors Blum and Modirzadeh have remarked that "these arguments would carry little weight in any court of law" because "even if [they were] true, one illegal use of force does not justify another."[4] Professor Ingrid Wuerth, likewise, said that Russia's arguments go "nowhere in terms of a legal or moral justification for Russia's own actions," although she agrees with Russia "that other powerful countries have undermined international law's prohibition on the use of force and protections of territorial integrity."[1]The Associated Press has noted that NATO's intervention in Kosovo only occurred after significant evidence of the persecution of ethnic Albanians, whereas Russian forces have no such evidence of abuses by Ukraine. However, it also noted that both interventions began with false claims of the persecution of ethnic minorities in neighboring countries, and that ethnic Russians feared Ukrainian nationalists.[40]

You have done the homework, I see Max.

“One illegal act does not make other act legal.”

You are 100%. What makes it outrageous is the fact that one country that has committed multiple illegal acts against numerous sovereign countries in the last 2 decades, is the same country that is pushing the world towards the oblivion for disapproving of another country doing exactly what they have been doing all along.

You see the hypocrisy there Max?
