Zelensky: This Is Genocide, We’re Being Exterminated

Axios reports:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced what he called Russia’s attempt to eliminate “the whole nation” during an appearance Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” saying, “this is genocide.”

As Ukrainian forces retook the Kyiv region on Saturday, officials and independent photographers have reported bodies of civilians — some with their hands tied behind their backs — strewn in the streets of the city of Bucha.

Zelensky has previously called certain acts of Russian aggression, such as the shelling of a children’s hospital and maternity ward in Mariupol, proof of genocide.
