Russian forces cross Ukrainian border 22.02.2022 morning

If you ever studied laws and conduct of war, you'd knew it is perfectly legal to conduct military, including attack operations, up to 60 kilometers of strategic depth on the territory of the attacking country, counting from the border of warring sides. Meaning, Ukraine can legally attack Russian territory anywhere where it is up to 60 km from Russo-Ukrainian border.

So its ok because it wouldnt be a war crime to invade another countries border up to 60km? Interesting

Yeah, you can invade your neighbour who attacked you up to 60 km in depth. It's legal. However you can't commit war crimes, of course. That would be sanctioned by international law regardless if military operation was legal or not.

So if you invaded a country within 60km but the country you invaded attacked you and your troops would that mean they comitted the war crime? Or is that legal? Because you were allowed to trespass up to 60 km.

You can only invade a neighbouring country that attacked you first. Because you are being attacked from their territory.
Thus you're given some strategic depth where you can extend your military operations, even attacking ones, because they ultimately serve for better defence from agressive neighbour.

I know that because I studied law and we learned that in Haague court verdicts when Croatian troops invaded western Bosnia to conduct military operations because Croatia was being attacked by Serb troops stationed in Bosnia, and such operations were declared legal by the court and in accordance with laws of war.

Thus, if Belarus for eg. openly joined in Ukrainian war, Ukraine would have right to attack Belarussian territory up to 60km from the border.

And Russians didn't, when they bomb Ukraine? In which fairy tale you're living? War is hell. Wake up and come to reality.
