“Wipe them off the face of the earth! Give them three days to evacuate”
– this is what one of the main propagandists of the Russian Federation, Solovyov, calls for to be done to Ukrainian cities.
“The civilian population of Ukraine does not deserve mercy, because it supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
Propaganda of the genocide of Ukrainians is currently heard daily on the central channels of Russian television and radio and is a constant component of newspaper articles and social networks.
Russian officials, such as Dmitry Medvedev (Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, former President of the Russian Federation), Rogozin (Russian Senator from the occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia), Lugovoy (Russian State Duma deputy, Deputy Chairman of a State Duma committee, FSB hitman who killed Alexander Litvinenko with radioactive polonium in London) and dozens of others talk about the need to deport those who disagree with the occupation to Siberia, the need for the destruction of infrastructure and energy sector so that Ukrainians themselves leave their cities, the need for missile strikes on food warehouses and granaries to organize a new Holodomor, and actually the complete destruction of the Ukrainian language, culture, etc. along with its native speakers. This is the goal of the war against Ukraine.
The term “genocide” was coined in 1944 by the Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin.And already in 1946, the UN General Assembly adopted the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide”.
Article 2 of the Convention defines the term “genocide” and its main characteristics as follows:
Genocide is the act of destroying a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
■ killing;
■ causing serious bodily or mental harm;
■ deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
■ imposing measures intended to prevent births of children;
■ forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
