If that seems to be a lot of charges, if you read Russian news, they have been saying this since 2014.

[Regnum] Work on establishing a tribunal for war criminals of the Kyiv regime is already underway, according to Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik.
"Crimes are being committed within the jurisdiction of the Russian legal system—in the constitutional territories of the Russian Federation and in frontline areas. Other states could act as guarantors that fair trial procedures comply with certain standards. But right now, of course, the main work is being carried out by Russian courts," Izvestia quotes the diplomat as saying.
Miroshnik emphasized that the Russian Federation has its own judicial and legal capabilities to hold accountable those who violate the norms and principles of international humanitarian law and commit war crimes.
He also noted that, as part of the criminal cases opened, a list of defendants is being compiled for a tribunal to examine Kyiv's war criminals. This list could include not only those directly responsible and unit commanders, but also senior officials of the Kyiv regime and politicians who created the conditions for genocide in Ukraine.
Earlier, Slovak MEP Luboš Blaha called for Kyiv's leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to be brought to an international tribunal for the attack on Starobilsk. He also emphasized that Western media are ignoring this tragedy.
In July 2025, Alexander Bastrykin, Chairman of the Russian Investigative Committee, proposed creating a military tribunal similar to the Nuremberg Tribunal or an international tribunal with the participation of other states to try Ukrainian war criminals. He recalled that individuals from Ukraine's military and political leadership who gave criminal orders and organized terrorist attacks are on the international wanted list.
Political scientist and Deputy Director of the CIS Institute, Vladimir Zharikhin, told Regnum news agency that the idea of ​​establishing an international tribunal to investigate and punish the crimes of the Kiev regime is viable, but will require lengthy discussions with Russian partners.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasized the need to counter the revival of Nazi ideology. He noted that fascism and Nazism must not be allowed to rise again, and emphasized the importance of protecting historical truth.
