If they have committed war crimes, these commanders will prosecuted by the majority of countries in any case, no matter how the war develops and what happens to Ukraine. Of course, Russia won't extradite them. That's obvious to everyone. The idea (that you seem to peddle) is absolutely absurd that there is a scenario in which Russia would hand over their own military commanders to the International Court of Justice or any other third country justice system.

I agree I'm not expecting that to happen, but is it impossible a coup/revolution could happen that sees a new leader willing to agree to offer up some war criminals for any cases the ICJ brings as part of a post-war treaty to get sanctions removed? Surely crazier things have happened to countries' leaderships and smaller demands have been made in peace treaties.
