> And it's not the first time the Russians have committed genocide against Ukrainians
im curious, when do you think was the first one? i mean there was the period of famine while ukraine was part of the ussr, but if thats what you mean lets get few simple facts straight
1) ukraine was an equal republic of the ussr
2) russia was a seperate republic of the ussr. russia had no authority about what goes on in ukraine
3) ussr at that time had a supreme ruler who was of georgian ethnicity
so even if we agree that systematic genocide did happen, it is very hard to argue that russia had anything to do with it
curiously, every time a russian ruled ussr, ukraine was rather well off. for example, under lenin ussr promoted ukranianization [1], under
khrushchev ukraine got gifted crimea, while the ussr got a ukranian as its supreme leader [2]
