Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a war crime.

The Ukies bombing the ethnic Russian provinces since 2014 is a war crime. Neither side will ever back down, the Ukies are spent, deenergized, deindustrialized, depopulated,….no amount of western welfare can save them.

It’s probably more of a crime against humanity, but I won’t argue against your characterization.
Now here’s where it gets sticky. At what point should a foreign power cross a sovereign border - and start a bloody war - to stop such a crime? It’s not an easy call. I would say that such an action should have a very high barrier.
For example, should the US now start a war to stop North Korea from starving its citizens? Should the UK have invaded the US in 1850 to free the slaves from their misery? Tough questions from a moral point of view.
