Russia seems to be (like a lawyer) laying out in front of the world governments its evidence, so that, if there is a blood bath coming, and Russia appears to be insensitive, they will have done their evidence showing up front, stayed meticulously to international laws and norms and are prepared to be judged in an international court of law. This would also give ample opportunity for the other nations of the world to choose a side.
A couple of points:
The Russians have shown time and again they (the Ukrainians) will not negotiate and remain in a warring stance at all times. To the point of destroying their own people, their country and dragging Europe into the pit. Thus, mad dogs must be put down. IMO, besides being a good idea, the secondary effect of the Christmas truce was to show the nations of the world “See! See, how they are?! This is how they act to a day of prayer! Not to mention regularly producing evidence of war crimes and only getting an elbow from the UN and others. (But the paperwork still stands as evidence)
Secondly, they have started using legal and diplomatic terms when discussing “the enemy” as NATO, the US, and England, as Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said in an interview with aif.ru. posted yesterday.
“The events in Ukraine are not a clash between Moscow and Kiev, it is a military confrontation between NATO, and above all the United States and England, with Russia.” -Patrushev
Also, recently Medvedev laid out what is “legally” a military target. (Posted on this thread, as well as sott.net)
“Today, however, there is a major question: can the hybrid war de facto declared to our country by NATO be considered the Alliance's entry into the war against Russia? Can the supply of a huge amount of weapons to Ukraine be considered an attack on Russia? And accordingly, whether the military objectives of the North Atlantic bloc listed in para. 1-4 of this note?” -Medvedev
Perhaps the Russians are also preparing for the aftermath?

The head of the Republic also said that Maryinka is practically under the control of our troops, but the enemy has entrenched itself on the outskirts.
