UN has a specific definition of genocide: it's "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."
But a “substantial part of the populace” is “also guilty” and would require “reeducation” and “ideological repressions” lasting “at least a generation” and would “inevitably mean de-Ukrainization.”
The intent to destroy Ukrainian identity, and the actions taken so far, is what makes this look like a genocide. Not the relative number of victims.
Of course until "an official body" declares this a genocide - which is not 100% sure - we can always pretend it's just "a normal war".

The reported mass deportations of Ukrainian children are included in this definition.
The definition says nothing about Iraq war.
Intent? Documented:
