Russian destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage declared genocide
The Council of Europe has declared that Russia’s destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage is consistent with genocide.
“Noting that more than a thousand cultural sites had been damaged or destroyed since the beginning of the war, the Congress underlined that the targeting and looting of cultural sites appeared to reflect a systematic policy aimed at erasing Ukraine’s historical and cultural identity, consistent with a genocidal intent,” the Council said.
It’s not the first time Russia's war in Ukraine has been designated a genocide by international authorities. Multiple European national parliaments have already done so with the Council of Europe deeming Russia’s forced transfer of children as an act of genocide in 2023.

Absolutely. Since before the war started, Putin has been calling Kyiv the home of the Russian people.
I'd say if he really wanted to trace the origins of the Russian people and ignore the fact that most of the Russian people's ancestors most likely already lived in Russia before there was a Russia and just act like the ruling class was everyone, go with Stockholm.
Whoa, hey, how the fuck did Sweden get dragged into this sewage fire?
Not cool man, not cool.
Not my fault you guys decided to start colonizing down the Volga over 1000 years ago.
