Did Russia go to the UN to make their case? No.
Did Georgia violate any UN sanctions? No.
They are entirely TWO different scenarios. But if you want to use the 'illegal invasion' excuse to justify Russia's actions, please, be my guest.
In fact, let's just let 'illegal invasion' be carte blanche for all the coming conflicts, k? It's just easier that way.
