NATO expansion doesn't generate a lawful casus belli, not least because Ukraine was not a NATO member in 2014, or 2022, nor likely to become one anytime soon. Moreover, NATO has never attacked Russia or its predecessor, the USSR.

Fun Fact: "The underlying causes of the war" are the Russian troops present in Ukraine since 2014. If they leave, there will be no underlying causes.
