There's evidence that Russian war crimes in Ukraine can be classified as genocide—but they might not meet the high bar of international law

Russia’s discourse about the war also allegedly violated a specific tenet of the Genocide Convention: making false allegations of genocide. In the past year, Putin and the Kremlin have falselyUkraine itself of committing genocide against ethnic Russians, declaring Ukrainians to be “Nazis,” and used that claim as a pretext to justify its invasion.

First, under the Genocide Convention, signatories are expected to stop and prevent genocide. They’re expected to act “as soon as countries become aware of a serious risk, that these acts are occurring on a systematic basis,” says Diamond. And beyond working to stop and prevent continued genocide during the war, states will also be responsible for finding ways to hold Russia accountable for the crimes into the future.

Alena Lunova, advocacy manager for the human rights organization ZMINA, says documenting crimes is crucial to her fellow Ukrainians. While she herself believes the war to be a genocide, “a genocide case is not the goal,” she says. For her, she says, she hopes that there will one day be a list of perpetrators who have committed crimes. As Verdejo points out, other violations of international law have comparable sentences.
