Kind of yes. In Ukraine the cultural genocide is definetely systematic and planned by the government. The actual genocide isnt. Ukraine isnt putting all russians in concentration camps or anything, like the west claims China does to uyghurs. All you need to do as a russian to be accepted and have no problems is speak ukrainian, support the ukrainian government, hate Russia and love the west, noone will check who your parents are or anything. However, if you dare speak russian, express distaste for the ukrainian government and/or the west or support for Russia in public, you will be probably harassed, assaulted or even killed by neonazi gangs like Azov Battalion. The ukrainian government doesnt commit actual genocide, but does nothing to prevent it either. Many Azov nazis have committed genocide against russians in East Ukraine. This wasnt ordered by the government, but they arent against it either. Same happens with other minorities like hungarians and romanians or if you are a communist, since in 2015 Ukraine banned communism. Anyone supporting communism or showing communist symbols in public gets 3 years in prison. Same if you dare “deny the heroism” in public of Stepan Bandera, the nazi hero of Ukraine. Now while Ukraine wouldnt commit actual genocide against russians in Donbass if they could, Azov and other neonazi gangs definetely would. And since these people are most of the soldiers Ukraine uses to fight in Donbass, Donbass must be protected.

TLDR: Yes, its what the west claims China does to uyghurs but toned down.
