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

The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has stated that “the information available suggests that the situation within the territory of Crimea and Sevastopol amounts to an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. This international armed conflict began at the latest on 26 February when the Russian Federation deployed members of its armed forces to gain control over parts of the Ukrainian territory without the consent of the Ukrainian Government https://www.icc-cpi.int/iccdocs/otp/161114-otp-rep-PE_ENG.pdf

The Ukrainian authorities are sliding even deeper into fascist darkness.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about Ukraine governed by Nazis. euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=ukraine+&disinfo_issue=&disinfo_keywords%5B%5D=77101&date=, As witnessed by the democratic Early Parliament elections held on 26 October 2014, Ukraine is governed by a democratically elected Parliament.

Salisbury attack was a provocation. Nobody knows whether Skripal and his daughter were in hospital in the first place. Because, according to specialists, if they had been poisoned with such a dangerous substance, as the British claim they have been, then they wouldn’t have survived.
