Kidnapping children and suppression of their language IS genocide.

I don't think it's as clear cut as e.g. the charter schools in the so-called US. These kids were in a warzone and I'd rather see them in Russian schools than casualties lying in some mass grave. It's still fucking horrible, but I still see the difference in magnitude.

The Russian state has, on multiple occasions over the years, denied the existence of Ukraine and Ukrainians as a distinct group with a right to exist.

Nope. Putin claimed that Russians, Ukrainians and Belarussians are "one people". That's not "denying the right of existence". Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Icelanders and Fins always call themselves "the Northerners" without wanting to annex each other.

You have an agenda and you will only see what you want to see.

Well, I could accuse you of the same.

You want to support imperial genocide? You go right ahead.

Now where did you get the idea that I support what Russia is doing? In the first comment you replied to I clearly stated that I condoned neither Russia nor Ukraine.

My stance is that the territorial interests of Ukraine aren't worth all the Ukrainians that are still sent into the meatgrinder.
