The International Court of Justice does not just represent the West, it represents all UN countries. And while it did find evidence of human rights abuse it did not find evidence of genocide, because that is a high bar.

Furthermore, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, representing 300 genocide experts, condemned Russia's use of the term to justify its own violence, as cited here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2022.2099633?scroll=top&needAccess=true

Again, the intent is very clear and indisputable. The only reason it's not a full on genocide the way it is in Gaza is because Ukraine lacked the means to follow through. Meanwhile, it's funny how these same genocide experts never condemned the US for making completely unfounded genocide claims against China.
