The Annexation is not legal even by Russian standards and definitely not by anyone else's standards. Let's start with the de-nuclearization of Ukraine.
The Budapest Memorandum was an agreement signed in 1994 that provided assurances to Ukraine if it agreed to give up its nuclear weapons. The security agreement had the following assurances:
[1] The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine
[2] The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine
[3] The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used.
This was signed by Sergey Lavrov, Representative of The Russian Federation and Boris Yeltsin of the Russian Federation. Apparently, The Russian Federation and Sergey Lavrov do not keep promises. The United States of America does keep its promises.

Funny how when Israel annexed the Golan heights or when Kosovo did the same thing as Russia, no one had a problem and the UN recognised Kosovo as a state and America had no problems with Israel stealing the Golan heights.

After 19 years since the beginning of the invasion of Iraq, has the West forgotten this war?
The Iraq war is said to have resulted in 1 million deaths the difference is russia have weapons of mass destruction
A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened
the difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia
describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard
to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use
nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of
weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies, in case of
aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the
very existence of the state is threatened
Russia has the World's Largest Bomber
As of 2022, the Federation of American Scientists estimates that Russia possesses 5, 977 nuclear weapons, while the United States has 5, 428; Russia and the U.S. each have about 1, 600 active deployed strategic nuclear warheads.

Russia has the most nuclear weapons of any country, at 6, 257. Of these, 1, 458 are active, meaning they are already deployed, 3, 039 are available (can be deployed if needed) and 1, 760 are retired (out of use and awaiting dismantlement

How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?
Russia - 6, 257
America 5, 550
UK - 225
France - 290
China - 350
Israel - 90
Pakistan - 165
India - 156
North Korea - 40

Never forget who's the real threat to the world !!

Who have killed more people in last two decades ?
America or Russia

how many people have been killed and wounded in Iraq since the 2003 United States invasion. However, we know that between 184, 382 and 207, 156 civilians have died from direct war related violence caused by the U.S., its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through October 2019. The violent deaths of Iraqi civilians have occurred through aerial bombing, shelling, gunshots, suicide attacks, and fires started by bombing. Many civilians have also been injured.

Because not all war-related deaths have been recorded accurately by the Iraqi government and the U.S.-led coalition, the numbers are likely much higher. Several estimates based on randomly selected household surveys place the total death count among Iraqis in the hundreds of thousands.

Several times as many Iraqi civilians may have died as an indirect result of the war, due to damage to the systems that provide food, health care and clean drinking water, and as a result, illness, infectious diseases, and malnutrition that could otherwise have been avoided or treated. The war has compounded the ill effects of decades of harmful U.S. policy actions towards Iraq since the 1960s, including economic sanctions in the 1990s that were devastating for Iraqis.
Despite more than $100 billion committed to aiding and reconstructing Iraq, many parts of the country still suffer from lack of access to clean drinking water and housing.
