Genocide

There is no longer any doubt that what the Russian attackers are doing in Ukraine amounts to genocide. Civilians are "filtered", sorted on weak grounds and classified as friend or foe to the invaders. Being on the side of their own country gets them summarily executed and buried in mass graves. Of those that manage to avoid execution, many are abducted, taken to remote locations in Russia and not heard from again, implying that they are either incarcerated or killed. This is a deliberate attempt at erasing the national identity of Ukraine by means of mass murder -- by definition, genocide.

Russia must not be allowed to gain any territory from this war. They deserve to instead have rather a lot taken away from them. A country that commits such unbelievable acts of terror and war crimes should not be allowed to have an army.
