AB The research focuses on a legal analysis of some facts and events taking place during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine through the prism of international law. The article analyzes different facets of the current conflict that trigger such major topics of international law as the threat and use of force, cyberattacks, recognition, international humanitarian law, international criminal law and many others. Special attention is paid to legal reasoning articulated by the Russian Federation in order to justify its aggression against Ukraine, in particular, to the claim of self-defense and the accusations of genocide, dispelling them. Furthermore, the relevance of international humanitarian law for the current conflict and the prospects of bringing to responsibility for the crimes committed on  the  territory  of  Ukraine  both  through  the  prism  of  national  and  international  criminal  law  are  explored.  Finally,  special  emphasis  is  given  to  the  challenges  that  the  Russian  aggression  against  Ukraine poses to international law and the international community as a whole.
