DISINFO: Ukraine has legalized a genocide against the citizens of Ukraine
SUMMARY
In fact today, you [Ukraine] legalized a genocide against the people, who, as you regard them, are citizens of Ukraine. You are trying to destroy the country today, while giving it a legitimate status.
RESPONSE
No evidence given for a threat of genocide in Ukraine. The word genocide is frequently used in pro-Kremlin disinformation https://euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=genocide&disinfo_issue=&disinfo_language%5B%5D=rus&date=,but it seldom corresponds to the actual definition of a genocide http://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.html Disinformation refers to a bill on "reintegration of Donbas" which was adopted by the Ukrainian parliament 18 January 2018.
