    That’s horrific. If this doesn’t constitute genocide I don’t know what does. I hope Putin dies a very slow and painful death.

        Shipping kids off to Russia fits the definition of genocide according to the U.N definition

        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:

        Killing members of the group;

        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;

        Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

        Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

        It’s in the first paragraph of the article…

        “ An 11-year-old boy has told his harrowing story of becoming a victim of Vladimir Putin’s systematic abduction of children from their loving families in one of the conflict’s most heinous war crimes”

        Both. Have you heard about what happened at the Mariupol theatre? They had “children” written in huge letters on the ground outside and Russia destroyed it with hundreds of people inside. Then they put up big walls around it and started demolishing it to hide the evidence.
