Freedom and democracy going wild again:

However, many Ukrainians feared that ratification of the Rome Statute could allow the ICC to prosecute Ukrainian citizens participating in the armed conflict on Ukrainian territory.

To reflect those concerns, the legislation contains a clause that says Ukraine will not recognize the ICC’s jurisdiction in cases where the crimes may have been committed by Ukrainian nationals.

Yes, that's why many countries, like the US, haven't ratified the Rome Statute. They refuse to accept anything they don't control as having jurisdiction over their country or citizens.
