It's important to self regulate and prosecute wrong doing of your own people, but justice requires accountability to your accusers, those wronged. Ideally, these work in concert.
The point is America does not care about international criminal courts, so they have no business trying to use them for Russian war criminals.
If Russia tried its own soldiers for war crimes, you would rightly think they will probably go easy on them and won't be a fiar trial with proper justice as it's motive.
Key-point here being "if", because Russia would never try their own soldiers. Apart from desertion of course, though I believe they'd rather execute those.
