Russia is trying in Ukraine. Their stated war aims are explicitly genocidal. They're just mostly failing, and not as fucking ghoulish about it as the kapo trash doing 'protocols of the elders of zion' larp with real bullets.
So condemning them is the right thing to do, but not condemning (and continuing to feed+arm) the worse assholes doing a worse version of the same thing on much more helpless people is the problem.
Trying a genocide? Pentagon constantly says in press reports that civilian casualties are atmost 1:10 to Ukraine military kills. There is no genocide that Russia has tried or committed. If you want to see genocide, see carpet bombings USA has always done, or the genocide Israel is openly doing. What Israel is doing is how a real genocide looks like.
Moreover, if you observed Zelensky a little, he said last year that he wants Ukraine to be the new Israel, and he said it recently as well. He also asked for WW3 last year, something not happening solely because of Putin's decisions and Russian strategy.
