Is Russia doing a race thing? I thought it was an imperialism thing, needed access to Crimea for the black sea and needs to get that pesky foreign government out of the way to ensure that access
Ukrainians have their own culture, language, religion, and ethnicity distinct from Russia. Russia is killing the native population to replace them with Russians, they are abducting Ukrainian children to raise them as Russian, and they are destroying Ukrainian art, museums, and churches. It is a genocide.
One is doing conquest while the other is doing cleansing. We all know which of those is the most evil one
Russia has killed over 30000 civilians, they have abducted 20000 ukrainian children and assigned them to Russian families, they have destroyed Ukrainian museums, churches, and art. It's just as much of a genocide.
It's ... It's the cleansing, right? Or .... Maybe, just don't... Just don't do wars?
The Ukrainian thing is more of a cultural genocide with Putin having a plan on "integrating" all current Ukrainians into Russian society, but it checks out, because "integration" means "throwing away their own culture for the holy Mother Russia".
