Attorney General Merrick Garland says in announcing a war crimes case against four Russians accused of torturing an American during the invasion of Ukraine that U.S. authorities “will never stop working to bring those responsible to justice.”
The point is America does not care about international criminal courts, so they have no business trying to use them for Russian war criminals.
If Russia tried its own soldiers for war crimes, you would rightly think they will probably go easy on them and won’t be a fiar trial with proper justice as it’s motive.
Key-point here being “if”, because Russia would never try their own soldiers. Apart from desertion of course, though I believe they’d rather execute those.
