    Russia isnt doing a genocide, they’re just Fighting a war over land. You can tell by the fact that Putin speaks about Crimeans as if they’re equivalent to Russians, while Israel has made it clear they consider all Palestinians to be animals.

      Whatever Putin says should obviously be considered of high information value because it bears so much honesty, integrity and insight. Thank you for reminding us all!

      If Russia plans to genocide Ukraine they would have the war with more force similar to what Israel doing in gaza. In 2 years the death toll in Ukraine vs Russia has been exceeded im 2 months by Israel.

      If Russia goal is a genocide then they need to re-evaluate their approach because they are not doing right.

      They definitely comitted war crimes but intent of genocide has not been clear compare to what Israel is doing.

      You can support Ukraine position but I don’t think calling Russia attack as genocidal is accurate.

        What Russians are doing might or might not be genocide in the strictest sense. But it definitely is cultural genocide, since their goal is to wipe out the Ukrainian identity, language and culture. Russianization is what Russia has always done to other peoples they have subjugated over the centuries.

        I mean, Russia flubbed so hard the whole world saw it.

        Israel clearly has the arsenal everyone thought Russia did.

      Yeah, them stealing Ukrainian babies and giving them to Russian families definitely doesn’t sound like ethnic cleansing.

      Putin made it clear that he doesn’t consider Ukrainian a language
