Don't you consider murdering people for there land immoral and illegal?

1. Violation of the United Nations Charter

The United Nations (UN) Charter prohibits the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 is widely seen as a violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits acts of aggression against another sovereign state.

2. Lack of Legitimate Self-Defense or UN Authorization

Under international law, the use of force is only justified in cases of self-defense or when authorized by the UN Security Council. Russia's actions do not meet the criteria for self-defense, as there was no armed attack by Ukraine on Russia. Furthermore, the invasion was not authorized by the UN Security Council.

3. Violation of Ukraine's Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity

The invasion undermines the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity enshrined in international law. The annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the subsequent invasion and occupation of parts of Ukraine are seen as breaches of Ukraine's recognized borders and sovereignty.

4. Breach of the Budapest Memorandum (1994)

Under the Budapest Memorandum, Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom committed to respecting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal. Russia's invasion is seen as a breach of this agreement.

5. War Crimes and Violations of International Humanitarian Law

Reports of attacks on civilian infrastructure, use of prohibited weapons, and other alleged war crimes during the conflict violate international humanitarian law, which governs the conduct of war and protects civilians.

6. Condemnation by the International Community

The majority of the international community, including the UN General Assembly, has condemned Russia's actions as an act of aggression and a violation of international law. Several resolutions have called for the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine.

Number 1 does not exist in reality anymore It was destroyed in 1999, and the law of the jungle where stronger countries are using the force to get what they want, has been the accepted practice in the world since. UN Charter is used to make sure that the poor and disadvantaged countries are kept that way.
