Putin and Russian generals served notice by British ambassador they'll be tried for war crimes

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Sunday Show," the British ambassador to the U.S. made it clear that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be held to account for war crimes and send served notice to every Russian general that they will be won't be let off the hook for their actions in Ukraine.

After Pierce stated, "The Russians have taken no account of civilians, this is why people believe that they may have committed war crimes, and that all needs investigating," host Capehart asked, "I picked up on a bit of language that you used there about Putin being accused of war crimes. President Biden has said flat-out that Putin is a war criminal. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also said the same thing. Why has Prime Minister Johnson not gone that far? Does he not believe that President Putin is a war criminal?"
'What the prime minister has said is that what's happened on the ground in Ukraine may well amount to war crimes," the ambassador retorted. "And for that reason we've sponsored a decision at the International Criminal Court to launch an investigation into what's happened on the ground."
"If I may, Jonathan, I do want to stress one point: it's that it won't just be President Putin who will be responsible for war crimes if that's what the investigation shows," she continued. "It will be every single Russian general involved in Ukraine. They will be personally accountable if war crimes are committed, that's a matter of law, it's not just my opinion."

...did putler forget to says ooops after those murders? 
An oddity, Ukraine signed the Rome Statue but didn't ratify. 
I'm confused.
But have chosen not to directly intervene.
So more innocent Ukrainians will die at the hands of the Russian invaders.
I believe he knows more than you or I do from first hand experience.
Two officials in the city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine say about 1,300 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the Russian invasion.
The city was first shelled in the inception of the conflict and has been under attack for almost a week.
According to reports, Russia held 300k civilians, hostage, in Mariupol, preventing humanitarian evacuation despite agreements with ICRC mediation.
“Preliminarily, 1,300 Mariupol residents have already died during the blockade genocide of the Russian Federation,” Petr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, told the Ukrainian agency UNIAN.

Does NATO and US assistance seem too little too late for the innocent civilians in Mariupol?
Seems so.
But I guess it's easier to be patient when one is hundreds and even thousands of miles away from the carnage.
Ukraine is, in NATO's words, a "a NATO Enhanced Opportunities Partner".
As a NATO partner, Ukraine has provided troops to Allied operations, including in Afghanistan and Kosovo, as well as to the NATO Response Force and NATO exercises. Allies highly value these significant contributions, which demonstrate Ukraine’s commitment to Euro-Atlantic security.
As an Enhanced Opportunities Partner, Ukraine will benefit from tailor-made opportunities to help sustain such contributions. This includes enhanced access to interoperability programmes and exercises, and more sharing of information, including lessons learned.
“This decision recognises Ukraine’s strong contributions to NATO missions, and demonstrates the Alliance’s continued commitment to its partnerships despite the COVID-19 pandemic,” said NATO Spokesperson Oana Lungescu.

President Biden wants to do everything he can to prevent a 
from a "silent" Z submarine in the Atlantic to wipe out NY or/and DC in a sudden flash.
Got it? Doesn't even guarantee it won't happen any minute...
If Putin has not started WWWIII over that AND the sanctions that will totally cripple his economy and topple him from power, why would you not think he's just bluffing and is laughing his ass off for scaring the pants off of NATO and the US?
Putin is one man. A dictator, true.
But it strains belief at this point that the Russian military would allow him to start a nuclear war.
Economic sanctions, especially on oil imports, is what prompted the Japanese Empire to attack Pearl Harbor causing the US to enter WWII. There was no combat between American and Japanese forces before that.
So, if we are willing to risk war in that regard, I continue to feel, as does President Zelensky of Ukraine, that more should be done to defeat Russia now, thereby saving tens of thousands, if not more, of innocent civilian lives.
Thanks for the discussion.
Britian.
