    Is there evidence of genocide? Because this source says otherwise.

    I think it has been established that the Russian invasion happened because Putin didn’t want a western oriented Ukraine that could possibly have meant an eastward expansion of NATO. Defending indefensible claims just hurts this consensus imo

          I actually bookmarked that when you pointed to it. Thank you because it grows tiresome looking for Western MSM links every time someone fed the liberal narrative demands a source and they’re certainly not accepting otherwise, and as you can see, often not Western MSM.

            It sounds like you’re looking for one singular article/document that provides irrefutable proof. If there is one, I haven’t come across it. The evidence is in Ukraine’s actions over the last decade to erase ethnic Russians from its country, physically or culturally. Whether that ends up being considered de jure genocide is up to the ICJ.

          ‘uyghur genicide’ is a straightforward category error because China isn’t doing anything like what western sources claim. ‘donbas genocide’ is a matter for debate and analysis following a well documented and targeted attack, the details of which are yet to be reconciled. I can agree that the latter might not be genocide but it isn’t comparable to Xinjiang.
