Historical Context
What about today's invasion?
Since the 2022 full-scale invasion, Russia has committed acts that meet the legal definition of genocide under the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, including: mass killings of civilians (e.g., Bucha, Mariupol, Izium), forced deportations of Ukrainian children to Russia (over 19,000 documented cases), systematic filtration camps and torture chambers, erasure of Ukrainian identity in occupied regions through propaganda, re-education, and suppression of the Ukrainian language, and targeted missile strikes on cultural and civilian infrastructure.
