I was wondering if someone posted this. The disclaimer of top 3 things made me a bit weirded out. I mean death count doesn’t make a genocide, it’s mostly based on methods and intent (although I believe genocide can take place unintentionally). While there isn’t a consensus yet on the Donbas since it’s so recent and facts on the situation are often steeped in misinformation or just straight up inaccessible, it is still a case worth study regarding the crime of genocide. In the end time will tell as always.
Well also using deaths is not useful here because the people in the Donbas rebelled against the coup and initial stages of cultural genocide. Then the war started because Ukraine specifically began to formulate an attack on the region. It’s like saying I shouldn’t intervene to protect someone from getting shot because the person had actually been shot yet

True, there’s a lot at play here but many people don’t know this or just do not care.
This actually reminded me of The Responsibility to Protect, does this not apply to the Donbas?
