They did, on account of child trafficking, not waging a war.

It is not a war crime to wage war. Besides that Viktor Sokolov, Sergey Kobylash, Sergei Shoigu, and Valery Gerasimov have all been served warrants not related to the large scale child abductions, but targeting of civilians. Also the child trafficking is still war related. Please inform yourself better, so you don't spread obvious false claims in the future.

  >Please inform yourself better, so you don't spread obvious false claims in the future. I am well informed, thank you. UN consistently downplays Russian crimes, secretary-general smiles and laughs with worlds bloodiest dictators while the west is afraid to as much as lift a finger to put this terror to a stop. This ICC ruling is just the latest in a series of hypocritical accusations against Israel and Ukraine.

    It's difficult to discuss this with you, as firstly you're confusing the UN and the ICC, and secondly you're not providing much in the way of concrete examples. It was indeed widely seen as a poor decision when Antonio Guterres visited Putin. However, the UN has consistently taken the stance that Putin has violated international charters and committed war crimes, e.g. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/10/un-commission-concludes-war-crimes-have-been-committed-ukraine-expresses https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/10/un-commissio...

For the 2023 warrants, that was the clearest path they had towards proving genocidal intent. Putin and Lvova-Belova both made clear statements about their intent to traffick children from Ukraine to Russia. The 2024 warrants were for attacking civilian objects and crimes against humanity.

These warrants aren’t for waging war either. They are for crimes against humanity, including hindering aid from reaching civilians, and for targeting hospitals.
