They will be tried in Ukrainian courts I imagine.
I can't envision the Hague actually prosecuting, convicting, and jailing, any Russians. Just as I can't see them doing that to Americans.
I could be wrong, Russia's position has certainly weakened enough for it to be possible, but until that dam is broken, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Ukraine on the other hand, that's an entirely different story. They've already been prosecuting war criminals in their own courts. Which is problematic in its own right, but if the Hague isn't a viable possibility yet, what other options do they have?
