BTW, I can't reply to the other two comments, I guess the authors banned me.

But my grand-grandparents are from Ukraine. Am I Russian or Ukrainian? I guess there are hundreds of thousands of people like me fighting on Russian side (as I said, we were one country for centuries). This is more a civil war, nothing like a genocide. Here many people consider it a civil war for sure. In Ukraine also, but they have no voice.

Also, if it is a genocide, why "bloodthirsty" Russians haven't killed all population of Crimea since 2014 - it would be so much easier. On the contrary, nobody was killed in Crimea.

It's a weird genocide. But only a "Russian troll" would understand.

This is pointless. The person is beyond help. :)

Strangely the shit he writes is so close to their playbook that my head hurts.

I asked you to defined what is genocide and how you can call what's going on in Ukraine a "genocide".

You failed to reply to either question. Because it's clearly not a genocide. Even UN acknowledged that.

So, instead you're repeating propaganda lines you've read yesterday in WaPo or Bloomberg or BBC, in order to deflect the direct question. And call me "brainwashed".

I'm not sure who's really brainwashed here.

No, it didn't. The most recent on the issue of genocide from the UN Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine:

“The Commission is also concerned about allegations of genocide in Ukraine. For instance, some of the rhetoric transmitted in Russian state and other media may constitute incitement to genocide. The Commission is continuing its investigations on such issues.”
