in my heart. let's give together memories that will warm hearts and help you survive these difficult and scary moments. they mass-murder ukrainian civilians, they kidnap and torture ukrainian patriots, activists, politicians, and volunteers. they forcefully deport and russify tens of thousands of ukrainian children. when the russians retreated after a month-long occupation, they left behind... russians ruled in kherson,

torture, murders and disappearances took place there. left find. russia is deporting thousands of ukrainian children from the territories it invaded and raising them as russians. on the background mass murders, torture and abduction of children, their state propaganda and politicians repeat over and over again: let's destroy the ukrainian nation, just stun these children, just stun them. does this mean all the russians? genocide is being committed in ukraine. politicians started saying this word in the spring of 2022. the exposure of what putin has done in ukraine seems to me quite close to genocide. yes, i called it genocide because

it is becoming increasingly clear that putin is trying to erase the very idea of ​​being ukrainian. i think it is absolutely correct that more and more people talk and use the word genocide in relation to... what is russia doing? i think we should call a spade a spade, and what is happening in ukraine is genocide. but is genocide really the right name for the crimes committed by russia in ukraine? under the political surface there is a sharp dispute between the most famous scientists and lawyers. these political statements are just that , political statements, but genocide has a very clear legal definition. i just don't think we have enough evidence for what... to seriously say that's what happens. i firmly believe that this is undoubtedly a case of genocide. i have concluded that he meets the criteria for genocide under the un convention. we can definitely say that the military and

political leadership of the russian federation is quite realistically charged with the crime of genocide by the highest international standards. why thoughts. are divided, who is right, what evidence of genocide did the russians leave and what is missing, should ukraine even try to prove this crime, or is it really important? with the help of exclusive testimonies a number of victims of russian war crimes in ukraine, in-depth interviews with the best experts, documents and chronicles of russian war crimes, we were looking for an answer to one of the main questions of the russian-ukrainian war: is russia committing genocide in ukraine.

william schabas, one of the world's foremost authorities on genocide. in the fall of 2022, more than six months later. after the start of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, he published an article in which he claimed: there are sufficient grounds to talk about genocide in there is no ukraine. i thought that many of the accusations were not sufficiently supported by evidence to start talking about the term genocide. and since then, i've actually grown more confident in that opinion. ukrainian scientist dmytro koval, co-author of the ukrainian parliament's declaration that genocide is taking place in ukraine. he also wrote an article about it together with three other ukrainian colleagues. in her text, he directly dominates william shabas. in

your opinion, what russia or the russian armed forces are doing in ukraine is genocide or not? yes, in my opinion, this is genocide. this opinion is supported not only by ukrainian scientists. johns hopkins university lecturer eugene finkel, who specializes in mass violence, published a column in the washington post in april 2022 under the headline what is happening in ukraine is genocide. point. the first thing that convinced me that genocide was taking place was bucha and the killing of civilians in bucha. and since then, i believe, what we see in ukraine has only strengthened these conclusions. mass killings of civilians in it was discovered in the kyiv region in the spring of 2022, after russian

troops retreated from there. they took place in different cities and towns, but bucha became their main symbol. then the first serious statements about the genocide were made. once it was a quiet suburb of the ukrainian capital, now the town of bucha is synonymous with death and desolation. hundreds of ukrainians died here, many were apparently executed by the russian military. bodies with signs of torture, rape and execution are exhumed. some, it seems, were killed with their hands tied. russian soldiers did not care about age or by gender one of those whom... the russians killed in buch was 41-year-old welder oleg abramov. russian soldiers killed him

practically next to his wife irina. i had a very good husband. on my birthday, which was in the 21st year just before the war. he wished me well, said: "faith in you, everything, everything will be." you have me, the russians came to their house on march 5, there were four of them with machine guns, oleg went outside with them, one of the soldiers stayed with irina in the house, asked where the nazis were, i say, i don't know who is not here. "here you are, you have a nazi regime, we are forced to come and arrange for you such a life

as the people in the donbas are suffering, you must be destroyed here, the intentions to destroy everyone, the russian military voiced in many telephone conversations intercepted by the ukrainian special services. we must kill everyone and children, and women, all in a row." having gone outside, iryna saw his body next to four russian soldiers,

you know, standing like that and thinking like that, it can’t be, he’s alone, it can’t be, with on the one hand, you understand that he is dead, because the head was almost gone, and on the other hand , it cannot be, this is not true. started screaming and then started asking them to kill me. iryna does not know why the russian military decided not to kill her, just as she does not know why and for what they killed her husband. she can only guess. they separated him, they led him down the street, they interrogated him. maybe he was ukrainian-speaking, maybe there was some tip-off, i don't know. what happened in bucha and other

places was a targeted attack on people, whom we consider ukrainians, not by ethnicity , but by nationality. activists, statesmen, veterans, and even just people who spoke for ukraine. or were considered patriots, the tone of the discussion in the russian media changed from "we are liberating ukraine" to ukrainians must be destroyed, and this happened almost immediately after bucha. almost immediately after the discovery of the mass killings in buch, the russian state media ria novosti publishes an article by political technologist tymofii sergeytsev, in which russia should do with ukraine. explains one of the goals announced by vladimir putin war against ukraine. i decided to

conduct a special military operation. we will strive for the demilitarization and denazification of ukraine. in the article of the russian political technologist, being a nazi simply means being ukrainian. denazification will inevitably also be de-ukrainization. the name ukraine cannot be preserved for a completely denazified state entity. a significant mass of the population of ukraine, accomplices of nazism and must be punished, historian timothy snyder called this text a russian textbook on genocide, one of the most frankly genocidal. documents he had ever seen. eugene finkel agrees with this assessment. it talked about the destruction of ukrainian identity and the transformation of people into russians. the mere fact that a person has a ukrainian identity or is a ukrainian would be enough to become a target. according to this column, this

article, which, let me remind you, was published in the state media, and such things... cannot be published without the direct approval of the state, approval from the leadership of the kremlin. the scientist reminds that the direct voice of the state was also heard in a few days. dmitry medvedev, the former president of russia and now the leader of putin's united russia party and deputy chairman of the security council of the russian federation, wrote in his telegram: deep ukrainianism, which is fueled by... russian poison and all-encompassing lies about its identity, this is one big fake this phenomenon has never existed in history and does not exist now. changing the bloody and full of false myths consciousness of a part of the current ukrainians is an important goal. it sounded like an echo of the article by timofy sergeytsev. soon, a member of the russian state duma

spoke openly on russian state television about the execution of millions of ukrainians. we will get a maximum of 5% incurable. there are 2 million people in numbers. these 2 million people had to either leave ukraine or be de-nazified. that is, to be destroyed. thus, russian propaganda began not only to justify, but also to encourage violence against civilians. the killing of civilians is one of the key criteria for identifying genocide - he believes. shabas, and it is this criterion that convinces shabas, that war crimes are taking place in ukraine, but not genocide. the larger the scale of the murders, the more reasonable is the conclusion that it is done with the aim of destroying the group. and i think in practice, the worst months in terms of civilian casualties

were the first months of the conflict, and then it went down. therefore, the evolution of the crisis did not strengthen the argument of what is happening. is it really so? opponents of william shabas do not agree with this conclusion. i am not sure that the violence has decreased. we know about the cases of izyum, buchi, boredyanka, irpen kherson, etc that these cities were liberated. i am deeply convinced that when the ukrainian army reaches such places as, for example, melitopol, we will see massive. burials and evidence of mass murders, we just don't have access to these places now, no one but the russians do. with each deoccupation, as we have seen, new confirmations of new atrocities appear. before the deoccupation of the izyum region, even i, despite the fact that by this time i had already written the declaration of the verkhovna rada,

and we had made significant progress in the work on the article, i could not imagine what we would find under raisin mass burials of local people. the armed forces of ukraine liberated izyum, a city in the kharkiv region in september 2022. 447 bodies were found in mass graves there, including at least 414 civilians. this area has become a huge crime scene. forensic teams carefully remove hundreds of bodies from the ground. it is here that horror acquires names and numbers, an unprovoked invasion. everyone killed many, we already knew that, but only now in the liberated cities, such as izyum, we learn who and how exactly was killed, with the deoccupation of new portions of the territory, with deoccupation of mariupol, we will be faced with more and more terrible statistics and confirmations that a genocidal campaign was really unfolding there, so we can

agree with mr. shabes that we have not collected so much information about this growth. the dynamics of killings, but at the same time we also have to understand that we simply do not have access to the areas where these dynamics will be demonstrated. from the territories occupied by russia, we really receive only fragments of information. one of the cities that russian troops occupied after february 24, 2022, yaskadovsk in the south of ukraine. in the autumn of the same year. the occupiers killed 56-year-old nurse tetiana mudrenko there. natalia is tatiana's twin sister. she accepts. us in his sister's apartment in the city of dnipro, he recalls, tells that in their youth they were very different in character, but outwardly very similar, somehow even

tatiana's boyfriend confused them, he was in the army, came from the army, and she was not in the garden, i'm coming, i 'm visiting, i know him too, come, oh, little girl, he's kissing my hand, i'm not a little girl, but then, well, a man. husbands calculated, and yes, yes, no, when the occupation began, natalia was with her sister in skadovsk, together they went to pro-ukrainian rallies, then natalia was able to leave, her sister stayed. in october, in a closed group on facebook, natalya read that tatyana was detained by security forces, together with her common-law husband anatoly. soon the husband got in touch with her and said: tanya was buried. and one wrote to my closed group that they strangled her and

then hanged her in front of the court, and when tolya sent me a testimony, not a testimony, the death certificate, it says bulagibulska street, i punched it on the map, it is indeed a courthouse, information that the occupying power is indeed. hung tatyana's body in the middle of the city, it is impossible to confirm now, but later natalia received several more testimonies, the girls from the hospital said that she was filmed there, who filmed it, i don't know, but this guy copied me, he said, some of his an acquaintance, also doesn't say her name, nothing, they say they cordoned off this area when she was hanged, well, rather , they hung her for dead, and then i have one girl... she told the correspondent, they went with a lawyer for a while, they said, they have such a trick with the fesshniks, they first suffocate, and then resuscitate, and you can see her as a woman,

that kind of thing. in the death certificate of tatyana , the cause of death is indicated, mechanical asphyxia, i.e. strangulation, the woman's grave, as well as reliable information about the circumstances of her death remains out of reach. this story is typical for the currently occupied territories, it only comes from there. fragmentary information about the murder of ukrainians, but their circumstances are shrouded in the darkness of the russian occupation, like their number, it is known only to the russians,

if they count at all, but is it really the killing of civilians that is the main criterion for talking about genocide? the definition of the crime of genocide should be sought in international documents, in the un convention on genocide and the rome statute. these definitions. are the same genocide is an act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group as such. murder - the task of serious physical or psychological harm, creating conditions for physical destruction of the group, preventing the birth of children and forced movement of children from one group to another. so, there is not one, but five different ways of committing genocide. of the five ways of committing the crime of genocide described in the convention and in the roman statute, murder is only one of the ways, the other four are not

related to murder, that is, these ways are not forms of murder, of course, and therefore it is not entirely correct to navigate and not it is quite correct from the point of view of how the convention and the rome statute are formulated to focus exclusively on murders although murder is only one of the five punishable acts, it is obviously the most important. unless a large number of people were killed, it is very difficult to infer an intention to physically destroy the group. the terminology of the genocide convention speaks of the destruction of a group, but the jurisprudence, that is, the international courts and tribunals that have applied it, have all taken the view that this requires the physical destruction of the group. indeed, the kiyslo inclines us to the fact that genocide should be aimed at physical destruction, but this kiyslo was formed on the basis or on the ground of specific ky. in other

contexts, courts may be more nuanced in assessing the situation. for eugene finkel from johns hopkins university, in the ukrainian case, the main evidence of genocide is not the murders. on the contrary, it is the act most distant from murder, defined by the un convention. the displacement of children is much stronger evidence of genocide than the killing of civilians. there is no military explanation, there is no strategic purpose in taking thousands of ukrainians from their families and forcing them to become russians against their will. this is done only with the intention of forcing them to stop being ukrainians and become russians. russia is deporting thousands of children from ukraine, from the territories it invaded and raising them as russians. some of them are orphans, some became orphans due to war, while

others. have parents in ukraine who are impatiently waiting for their children to return. thousands of children from the occupied territories of ukraine are in repurposed summer camps in russia. russification is taking place here, as can be seen from the enthusiasm with which children speak about russia. lessons russian, studying the russian national anthem, daily performance of the russian national anthem. this is indoctrination. and there is a revised story that they are forced to follow. the russians call the evacuation, the un says it should be considered an act of genocide. as of the beginning of 2024, the ukrainian authorities claim that almost 20,000 ukrainian children have been deported to russia. the russian authorities report as many as 700,000. one of them was denys berazny, he was

when he was taken from occupied kherson to a children's camp on the crimean peninsula, which russia has controlled since 2014. were there hundreds of children from the kherson region aged eight to 17. he saw with his own eyes what russification looked like. after three weeks, they started playing the russian national anthem in the morning . we did not react to him at all. we just walked, i wonder why, and then we started how to do it, we just took it, we agreed with the group, only 30 people, that we would simply not get up in the morning to the russian national anthem, at all, the main person responsible for ideological work with children in the camp was a former worker ukrainian law enforcement officers bodies, a special division of the ministry of internal affairs, berkut. he often said that

russia is better than ukraine, that if you say something on the territory of the camp in favor of ukraine, then you will go home on foot, he often looked for ukrainian symbols or paraphernalia, if he found them, he tore them up, burned them, well, in front of everyone, it could have been any , for example, a paraphernalia that is a flag, older children in the camp could resist russification. but valery stakhov had a great influence on the younger ones. children, after talking with valery mastaho, they didn't shut down, they started saying that russia is better. and she will take kherson and all of ukraine. but at first they didn't say that, they said that ukraine is fine. after months of struggle by denis.

they were able to return raznoy to ukraine, to his parents. this is possible with a small part of the deported children, but tens of thousands of them remain in russia, where they gradually lose their ukrainian identity. often they also resist russification. some russians are annoyed by this. in the intercepted conversation of a russian soldier, his wife calls ukrainian children nazis. and do you know? children tell our children that on may 9 at school they asked to draw, in short, it was a holiday, they said, it’s not our holiday, it’s children, our children at school say, and you know that they will grow up later, that’s how it will be , these are natsiks, they will grow up, they will be the same, i would, on the contrary , inject drugs into their eyes, look them straight in the eyes, and tell them, suffocate, suffer, i would also cut their fists like that, i would cut stars on their backs, and from generally a spider.
