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:
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.

Not to detract from the horribleness of this, but in case anyone else is wondering how Ukraine had/has the world's highest mortality rate with the Gaza genocide unfolding, the latter isn't counted because America doesn't recognize Palestine.

Then don't. Your remark comes across as disrespectful. Don't put horrible things as if it were an atrocity competition.

I'm not; I was just explaining the background of the "highest mortality rate" thing because it's not what one would expect (or at least not what I expected). I wasn't trying to compare the two.
