Russia is not a genocidal ethnostate. Go look at the percentage of civilian casualties in the Ukraine war and the percentage in Gaza and then learn what terms mean. Russia does commit "war crimes" (whatever that word means nowadays) but they are most certainly not committing genocide.
Well they have been force-adopting ukranian chilfren into Russia, no? I am sure i read something about that. Not as cruel but still genocide i guess?
Not really, that was a hoax, Russia asked Ukraine for list of names, Ukraine provided 339 names of which 166 was immediately found living with their parents in Germany. And even if we assume all the rest are really unaccounted for, this only points how low civilian losses are in that war, something unthinkable looking at American or Israeli wars.
We really don't need to make Israel and the USA look worse here, they are achieving that on their own. I was solely talking about the claim of Russia not commiting genocide at all. There has been a bunch of reports on stuff happening in the occupied territories, i'd be carefull protecting them from genocide allegations.
I also really don't want to take up a huge-ass discussion over this in a random forum over text.
Oh wow, reports? On stuff? How very convincing.
Funny how you tried to actually present a specific claim, immediately got proven wrong, and are now retreating to unfalsifiable vagueness.
Keep children in a safe place during war is much better than keeping them among military targets and bombing them.
