Chapter 15.2.3 and the Law of Neutrality
Not an invasion. Self-defense.
"a neutral State’s [NATO, US, UK, etc] acts of participation in a war of aggression [arming Ukraine, preparing for war, propaganda to incite Law of War violations] against another member of the United Nations [Russia] would likely violate not only its duties under the law of neutrality, but also the Charter’s prohibition on the unlawful use of force.[Red line crossed by the West, per Putin]"
“the state acting in self-defence is allowed to trespass on foreign territory, even when the attack cannot be attributed to the state from whose territory it is proceeding. It does not follow from the fact that the right of self-defence...is restricted to the case of an ‘armed attack’ that defensive measures may only affect the ‘attacker’.
...compatible with...the laws of neutrality...provided that the state concerned is either unwilling or unable to curb the ongoing violation of its neutrality.”

Chapter 5.2
"OVERVIEW OF RULES FOR THE PROTECTION OF CIVILIANS"
The protection of civilians against the harmful effects of hostilities is one of the main purposes of the law of war. Many of the rules for the protection of civilians are derived from the principles of distinction and proportionality. Specific rules for the protection of civilians may be grouped into two categories: (1) essentially negative duties to respect civilians and to refrain from directing military operations against them; and (2) affirmative duties to take feasible precautions to protect civilians and other protected persons and objects.
Russia is not harming the civilians of Ukraine. Not an invasion. Military necessity, targeting military objectives.
