Putin treats his "Russian people" campaign and politics as if the world wants to commit genocide against them and Russia is the only safe haven for Russian people. That is the entirty of his actions in promoting violence against The West.
The United Nations and NGOs need to conduct investigations into his charges and debunk his rantings. It would provide a basis of opposing Putin's actions and begin to end his hostility by The West. The World Court could hear such a case.

"It's already clear now ... that fundamental Russian concerns were ignored," Putin said at a news conference with the visiting prime minister of Hungary, one of several NATO leaders trying to intercede with him as the crisis has intensified....
