Abstract: This article succinctly assessed the possibility of prosecuting Russian President Vladimir Putin and other key figures for alleged potential war crimes or crimes against humanity being committed in Ukraine. Precisely, it reviews existing literature on the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine as the methodological approach to exploring the possibility. As the conceptual framework, this paper assessed the possibility from the background of power dynamics, particularly in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) affecting international politics and puts Russia into context. The paper doubts not the possibility but argues that the chances are very slim due to the concept of power dynamics being exercised by Russia as one of the five permanent members of the UNSC and the political limits to what the International Criminal Court (ICC) can do in any of the crimes it investigates and prosecutes prime suspects bearing greater responsibility.
