Buddy, they weren’t even hiding it. Here’s Poroshenko saying precisely what the goal was. If you had a shred of integrity you’d be deeply ashamed of trying to white wash this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHWHqj8g7Bk
Buddy, what he said was reprehensible and I am not trying to defend his actions or statements. But does it meet the standard of “ethnic cleansing?” The International Court and most of the world says no.
Trying to eradicate culture, use of language, and subjugate a population certainly does meet the intent. The fact that they weren’t able to do it the way Israel is doing in Palestine is entirely due to the fact that LPR and DPR manage to mount effective resistance.
You’re free to form a different opinion. But when yours is different than the majority of the world’s and the International Court, but won’t even admit that yours might be the hot take, it’s not a good look
It’s not different from majority of the world, it’s different from 13% of the population in western nations who are using Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia. What’s not a good look is pretending what everybody can see is happening isn’t what it is.
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.
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.

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
