The complicating part could have been that Ukraine has signed but not ratified the UN Treaty, but in 2014 Ukraine has requested and granted jurisdiction to ICC (

I'm not sure what that legally means, but it sounds to me like Russia agrees that war crimes exist, but also has taken the stance that they never will or can be part of or subject to investigation and prosecution.
By the way, despite the public accusations Joe Biden made, the USA have not requested or supported the ICC to start a case. Maybe the USA legally can't, because the USA has the same status as Russia?
