In a way, states and international organisations have been forced to react in the context of the violation of international law by the Russian Federation, actions contrary to Russian-Ukrainian international agreements, and the destabilisation of the world order established after the end of World War II. The first part of the article describes the genesis of the conflict in Ukraine. The main part presents the reaction of the international community to the outbreak of war.
