"all peaceful alternatives have been exhausted"
Donetsk and Luhansk were key. When the ceasefire broke due to Ukrainian shelling, Putin declared their independence and was able to act. I believe this is when he announced the "exhaustion" with a deadlock. He knew who was REALLY being the aggressor and was able to claim self-defense.

Curious one here. Timestamp 10:40 AM > Law of War chapter 10.4 "Derogation for Security Reasons"
Derogration is the relaxation or diminishment of law. In this case it's Protected Person status. 🤔
Seems to work outside Russia and Ukraine, as well. So the white hats are able to act on Non-State Actors in a way they normally wouldn't with temporarily "relaxed" protections. 🤔🤔

It's "Ukraine", not "The Ukraine".
Do you call our neighbors "The Mexico" and "The Canada"?

11.4.2 applies here
Occupying Power [NATO, Ukraine] are not authorized by the fact of belligerent occupation [Russia] to annex occupied territory or to create a new State [join NATO].
This would explain Russia "taking over" certain areas, putting up flags. If they're "occupying", NATO (possibly EU, maybe UN) are restricted.

Linked to my dig on cluster munitions. Fake news. Cluster munitions are NOT banned. They are acceptable, particularly because Russia and the US are not party to the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
Good example of how people just say anything and everyone will believe it.
