Fuck sakes Putin, kidnap the already-born kids and prevent new ones from being born, eh? What a shitpump

his primary war aim is to eliminate the notion that there ever was a Ukrainian people. if you take this into account, the things you'd expect him to do are:

attack Ukrainian cultural centers
kidnap and reeducate children
enact mass killing in controlled territories

and guess what. he's doing that. these are acts of genocide. he wants to erase the Ukrainian people and control the narrative, claiming there never was a Ukrainian people. the goal is less about territorial control and more about wiping a story out from the chorus of histories of the world.

Sounds like a war criminal

keep in mind that while doing these things might make you sound like a war criminal, it also makes you a war criminal

Don't forget the Tartars from Crimea! Russia is doing a re-run genocide, they were there already, a century ago, to commit genocide. Oh we don't like these folks? Genocide. Apparently it's classic Russian playbook.
