IMO, the war crimes thing, unless very egregious, is not a very good argument. Because if there is a war, there will be war crimes, and wartime-legal actions that are as bad as war crimes, too. Basically, you start a war, you awaken the monster, and everything that happens is your responsibility. A "small" amount of war crimes is par for the course. The US did it, too!

Thus why Russia can be penalized for those war crimes as a country, even though the crimes were committed by individual soldiers. > if there is a war, there will be war crimes And if you have a city, people will commit crimes too. Should we not punish those either?

I don't know I think the scales of rape and torture of civilians by Russia in Ukraine is pretty egregious.
