"for arguably less worse crimes than Putin"
How many civilians have died in the Ukraine and in Gaza?
"to the genocide/domicide in Ukraine"
That's very frivolous use of the word 'genocide'.
"Now it’s taking Israel to court."
Don't you think that it should have been done by the countries which took Russia to the court? They have done nothing. Strange.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed in Ukraine.
Putin is explicitly aiming to destroy Ukrainian national identity, which is genocide. He has disappeared countless people in the occupied territories… literally, countless, no one knows how many because rights orgs don’t operate there. He’s indicted by the ICC for stealing children from occupied territories to solve the Russian “demographic crisis,” and to remove the future generation of Ukrainians. There’s nothing frivolous about this, ask a Ukrainian. See Putin’s many speeches, including from February 24, to this effect, he doesn’t believe Ukrainians or Ukraine has a right to exist, and believed that Ukrainians can be dispensed with like subhumans.
> Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed in Ukraine.
Can you link some credible references for this?
The OHCHR, as of October 2023, listed 10,000 killed and 18,000 wounded.

For that estimate to be off by AT LEAST an order of magnitude as you are claiming requires quite a bit of evidence.

Sadly I don’t have time right now for a complete response, but for example, in just the battle of Mariupol:
Per Russia: 3,000+ civilians killed[43] Per Ukraine: 25,000+ civilians killed[44] 50,000+ deported[45]
