Russian attacks on civilians in Ukraine are not isolated war crimes but an integral part of Russia's state directed and systematic policy of genocide against Ukrainians. As part of its genocidal policy, Russia is executing a calculated criminal strategy of destruction to create perilous living conditions for Ukrainians that endanger human existence.

Three years of Ukrainian sacrifice bought Europe time. Europe is spending it on excuses. Europe is watching Ukraine slowly bleed to death—and making excuses for why it cannot act.

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine goes beyond a war of territorial conquest - Moscow pursues a genocidal objective. The international community must build a “justice coalition” to drive legal and political action in international courts and organisations to stop Russian genocide, and bring its perpetrators to responsibility.

Recognizing that Russia is committing genocide against Ukrainians is critical for the international community's efforts to counter Russia's criminal policy.
