      I disagree with the killing of Ukrainians, I hosted one refugee myself at the beginning of the conflict. That doesn’t mean you can make up genocides. Tell us the civilian casualty rate of the Ukraine war vs the invasion of Iraq or the genocide in Palestine, you who are so well versed in the topic

        Just the fact that the Russians kidnap children and give them to Russians to raise is an act of genocide and they freely admit to doing that.

          they freely admit to doing that

          Source? Hope you don’t refer to this instance:

          Since February 2022, the Russian Federation has received about 4.8 million residents of Ukraine and the Donbas republics [of Donetsk and Luhansk], more than 700,000 of whom are children, the report reads. An overwhelming majority of the 700,000 Ukrainian children arrived in Russia with their parents or relatives, children’s rights commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova said without offering further details."

              That’s an opinion essay by some Kurt Mundorff, not an official admission of Russian assimilation of Ukrainian children

              Now respond to my request about civilian casualty ratio, unless you deem it too inconvenient to your propaganda

                I’ve sourced the statements I’ve made explaining why it’s a genocide but I won’t be sourcing statements you made for you.

                That would be your responsibility.

                  You can keep lying to yourself, but this is a public forum. We all can see you said that the Russian government agrees that they kidnap Ukrainian children and you haven’t been able to back that with a source.

                    Russia’s longstanding practice of removing Ukrainian children from occupied territories and transferring them to special camps or for adoption by Russian families expanded exponentially with its 2022 invasion. Scholars with the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab (YHRL) found that “[m]ore than 19,000 children from Ukraine have been deported to Russia”, adding that the actual number is likely much higher. As they document, children are being held at least 210 locations across Russia, with at least 130 of those locations conducting “re-education activities.” They also found that Ukrainian children have been subjected to coerced adoption and fostering by Russian families, adding that these programs “appear engaged in systematic re-education efforts that expose children from Ukraine to Russia-centric academic, cultural, patriotic, and/or military education.”

                    Far from concealing these operations, Russian officials paraded the children on television as proof of their success in rescuing Ukrainian orphans. However, it is unclear how many of the transferred children are orphans or, if so, lack an extended family capable of caring for them in Ukraine. And in May 2022, President Putin issued a decreeexpediting the process of denationalization, stripping Ukrainian children of citizenship documents and bestowing Russian Federation citizenship, accelerating their adoption by Russian families, and rendering them subject to conscription by the Russian military.
