    This is a war crime, not genocide. If this is your standard for genocide then you should also be saying Ukraine is committing genocide.

    Russia is committing many war crimes but their goal is clearly to annex Ukrainian territory and absorb the Ukrainians into Russa. Not the eradication of Ukrainians.

    As Zionists loved to point out, before Israel openly started proclaiming their goal is to kill all Palestinians and replace them; genocide requires explicit intent to destroy a population. Not only annex territory.

    You cannot call every war crime 'genocide'. It is not a word you can throw around lightly. The difference in Ukraine is that Russia is still primarily killing combatants whereas Israel is killing mostly women and children.

    Please ignore the forced disappearance of Ukrainian children, residents of Mariupol discovering that their bombed out homes were being rebuilt for Russian immigrants with no space left for them, the uninvestigated murders of Crimean Tartars, dropping cluster munitions on civilian evacuations, bombing of civilian shelters, bombing of hospitals, and the large scale rape and murder in Bucha

        Notice the difference between my sources: independent international bodies and your sources: pro-Ukraine organisations.

        Ukraine can ask the UN for an investigation if they believe they have case. But they will not do that and we both know why.

        Here is another source proving me right: literally Wikipedia

        It’s not close’ - Israel committing genocide concludes Wikipedia ending editorial debate

        The ICC is currently investigating and has issued arrests already. Not sure what you're talking about, just nonsense. I guess they're pro-Ukraine right? What a handwave away lol. This conversation is becoming a joke, especially since you're still ignoring the propaganda article the other user posted. Literally no comment on it. That source didn't prove you right. It just proved that Wikipedia added Gaza to their list of genocides. Ukraine is currently getting there.

          I mean, you're TECHNICALLY correct, but the Russians are on record saying Ukraine and Ukrainians do not exist as a separate people. So it's slightly more genocidy than you make out.

          A state or group and its inhabitants are not the same.

          If someone says "Death to Russia", "death to Israel" or "death to ISIS" this does not mean wishing death upon everyone who lives under their rule. It means trying to get rid of the group ruling them.

          Russia says Ukrainians do not exist as a separate people and tries to annex their land: war crime.

          Israel says Palestinians do not exist (not the state, the people) and that they want kill them all, expell them from their land and put them in a concentration camp: genocide.

          This is not a "technicality". This is the crux of what genocide means. It is not a word to be thrown around lightly.

            Oh look, a tankie leaving out a ton of historical context and claiming there is no genocide in Ukraine. And then trying to claim that Ukraine is the one committing genocide by a narrow definition on this one specific incident. And then ignoring all the times Russian forces have attacked civilian targets. Here, I'll leave this for you to ignore:

              Once again: many war crimes. Undeniable. Genocide? Likely not.

              Israel is primarily slaughtering civilians. Women and children make up most of their casualties. All hospitals and infrastructure is destroyed

              Russia is committing many war crimes but they are nowhere near the level of Israel; trying to wipe out the population.

                    They linked an article about Ukrainians executing POW's. That is a directly applicable comparison to this post.

                    They mocked you because you are making up things they did not say.

                      Arrests for war crimes not genocide.

                      Ukraine is currently getting there.

                      What do you think is taking Wikipedia so long? Ukraine was invaded two years before the genocide in Gaza. Are Wikipedia editors all Tankies?

                        Do you truly believe Wikipedia is the end all-be all of whether or not a genocide is occurring? Can you not think for yourself?

                        What do war crimes lead to?

                        What about the Russian propaganda article you still won't comment on, ya know, the very thing that started this chain?

                          Nowhere did they say Ukraine is committing genocide. They said Ukraine also executed POW's which is backed up by video evidence.

                          Hey, remember how that article is unverified by independent sources and comes directly from Russia? Ya know, propaganda? Hey, that video evidence that you claim is proof, can't Russian soldiers dress up as Ukrainian and then execute people?

                          Hey, do you have any independent thoughts going on?

                            They did not imply it. They said that executing POW's is not genocide but a war crime. Then they provided a good example showing why it is a war crime and not genocide.

                            You are imagining them saying something they did not say.

                              It appears no matter how many facts you are presented with you are unable to face reality and admit you are wrong.

                              Wikipedia and the UN and Amnesty International are all tankies. Everyone you who disagrees with you is a tankie. Have a very tankie day.

                                    The Kremlin has accused Ukrainian soldiers of executing more than 10 Russian prisoners of war following the circulation of a video on social media purporting to be from the frontline.

                                    The footage appears to show a group of Russian soldiers emerging from an outbuilding in the grounds of a house with their hands above their heads before they are told to lie facedown.

                                    One of the men wearing all black, however, seems to turn his gun on what appears to be a Ukrainian unit of soldiers wearing yellow armbands as he emerges from the half-destroyed outhouse.

                                    The footage, seemingly taken by a Ukrainian soldier, suggests that all the Russians, including those in a prone position, were killed in the violence that followed. There are at least 12 bodies.

                                    Just video footage. No Ukrainian government to say it so it didn't happen! As pathetic as questioning whether Russians executed the Ukrainian POW's. When there is a video of it happening there's no point in screaming source source.

                                      You don't think Russians can't dress people up and stage an event like that? Really? Lol

                                      Obviously sources need to be taken seriously, and Russia is not a good one. But yeah, let's just trust propaganda entirely like you say.

                                        This is a war crime, not genocide. If this is your standard for genocide then you should also be saying Ukraine is committing genocide.

                                        Russia is committing many war crimes but their goal is clearly to annex Ukrainian territory and absorb the Ukrainians into Russa. Not the eradication of Ukrainians.

                                        As Zionists loved to point out, before Israel openly started proclaiming their goal is to kill all Palestinians and replace them; genocide requires explicit intent to destroy a population. Not only annex territory.

                                        You cannot call every war crime 'genocide'. It is not a word you can throw around lightly. The difference in Ukraine is that Russia is still primarily killing combatants whereas Israel is killing mostly women and children.
