Abstract

This study addresses the legal classification of the Russian-Ukrainian war, which is considered one of the most influential conflicts in contemporary history. The research aims to analyze the legality of Russian military actions in Ukraine in light of international law, focusing on the principles of the United Nations Charter. It reviews the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the escalation of the conflict, as well as its implications for international peace and security. The research tackles a central issue concerning the compliance of the parties' actions with international laws, hypothesizing that the war constitutes a violation of these principles. Employing an analytical approach, the research draws on legal and academic sources to provide a comprehensive perspective on the conflict and its impact on the international legal system
