Summary/Abstract: In this paper, although its title implies that we will deal exclusively with local jurisdiction, we will have to focus our attention on several other issues. The first reason for this is that there are many specifics in this situation that we need to address in order to better understand the circumstances that preceded the conflict in Ukraine. Attention should also be focused on the centuries-old relationship between the two Slavic states, the circumstances in which the International Criminal Court was founded, as well as earlier temporary and internationalized courts, then the accession of the Russian Federation to the Rome Statute, but not its ratification, and the withdrawal of the signature and the consequences that this entails. since Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council. Furthermore, the focus is on defining the elements of the criminal act of aggression within the framework of the Rome Statute and the legislation of Ukraine, as well as giving a special statement by Ukraine from November 2013, whereby it accepted the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court on its territory for all cases arising from the situation and renewed in 2014 for an indefinite period. It is important to mention the events in the Belgorod region and the issue of immunity in accordance with Article 98of the Rome Statute and the warrant issued for the arrest of the President of the Russian Federation.
