Ok, I get it. I’m Ukrainian myself. I know what that POS has done and hope he dies very soon. But although what he’s been doing has, indeed, been pretty much a genocide, the UN won’t recognize it as such. Either for political reasons or because it’s hard to prove. That’s all I was saying. I agree with you though. It’s genocide.
