NATO countries have moral and treaty obligations to enforce the laws of international armed conflict. NATO will not enforce international law for the same reason that the European nations continue to pump millions of Euros into the Russian war effort, they are completely dependent upon Russian oil and gas. They are more dependent on Russian oil and gas than before the invasion of Crimea. Europe is supporting both sides of the Ukrainian war. The European members of NATO are arming Ukraine while financing Russia.
Europe condones the Russian atrocities for the sake of continuing to destroy the environment burning fossil fuels. The US condones the Russian atrocities for the sake of preserving NATO. The rapes and murders in Ukraine will continue for the sake of oil and gas.
