It is not about war crimes, but crimes against humanity, by Russia.

Coincidentally Russia started the war with Ukraine and did.

Depending on how you read the topic headline. 

 

So is it only about Russia or worldwide with just Russia as centerpoint?

The topic line would have been better fitted with the word warcrimes.

Then you leave out all other cases. As far as i know only Yemen is also still at war.

As crimes against humanity are happening almost anywhere. Nothing new about that.

Crimes against humanity encompass war crimes and Russia has been responsible for many hundreds committed in Ukraine

 

"For the purpose of this Statute, ‘crime against humanity’ means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:

Murder;

Extermination;

Deportation or forcible transfer of population;

Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law;

Torture;

Rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity;

Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender as defined in paragraph 3, or other grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international law, in connection with any act referred to in this paragraph or any crime within the jurisdiction of the Court;

Enforced disappearance of persons;

The crime of apartheid;

Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health."

Well, you've been warned. More deflection will be reported then it's up to moddies to decide.

It's possible the VP used crimes against humanity instead of war crimes because Putin has continued to call it a Special Military Operation.  It's a distinction with very little difference:

Unlike war crimes, crime against humanity can also be committed in peacetime, and contrary to genocide, they are not necessarily committed against a specific national, ethnical, racial or religious group.
