I have described earlier in another post why Russian attack on Ukraine cannot be considered as agressive but reactive and hold water in the court of international law.
To summarize, UKR did not abide to the UNSC approved Minsk accords and in early February 2022, as reported by OSCE observers on the ground, has started to massively shell Donbas. Prior to that, in March 2021, UKR passed legislation (contravening the UNSC law) forcing the government to regain control of lost regions (including Crimea), by all means necessary.
Russia recognized Donbas and Lugansk (see the Kosovo legal precedent established by the US), and invoking article 51 of the UN Charter responded to UKR armed attacks by sending the Russian Army to force UKR to a settlement.
