The war crimes PROBABLY were not the reason, although they are still a major motivator for the west and the people. The reason is still mostly:

1: Eastern Europe hates Russia with a burning passion

2: Western security depends on Russia losing the war. If Russia wins, the peaceful Europe will be over forever.

3: Ukraine losing will be bad for everyone

They probably could've gotten somewhat away with it if they only attacked Donetsk and Luhansk, dug in as hard as possible and basically repeat Crimea. However, Russia thought they were invincible, marched convoys after convoys into their doom. Russia made every mistake you can possibly do in war and they pay the price for it.
