            im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

            If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country “political reasons” I guess.

              Is Russia being imperialist? Yes. Is Russia committing genocide? No.

                The forced relocation of 1.6m Ukrainians to Russia is an act of genocide. Hundreds of thousands of these are children.

                  Cursory websearch suggests your info, however accurate it may have been in the first place, is stale by 3 years.

                  Even that source doesn’t mention genocide. It does mention the Geneva convention, which sounds kind of similar but they are serious things so try to keep track of them. It’s shitty to toss around terms like this without any regard to the gravity of them.

                  Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide | OHCHR:

                  Article II

                  In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

                  (a) Killing members of the group;

                  (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

                  © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

                  (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

                  (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

                  Relocating people itself is not genocide.
