    Russian officials continue to accuse Ukraine of committing genocide. On Monday, Russia repeated allegations that the “Russophobic and neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv” was using the United Nations’ 1948 Genocide Convention, to which both countries are a party, as a pretext to “drag” a case before the court.

    This strategy of accusing the other side of exactly what you’re doing is so blatantly obnoxious. This sounds the exact same as “Black Lives Matters was the real insurrection”

          So, you believe that all Russians in the Ukraine need to be forcibly removed or turned into fertilizer? Just to be clear. Because that would be a genocide.

              There are millions of Russians in the Donbass and Crimea whose families have lived there for hundreds of years. They are the ones being genocided.

                Supressing an armed insurrection which is supported by a foreign power is not genocide. The world turned a blind eye on the secession of Donbass and Crimea until Russia decided to use them to annex the rest of the country. These Russian sattelite "states"can continue to exist as a part of Ukraine. Once again, go home vatnik, you have no power here.
