It's dehumanizing Russia state a fact that Russia is dehumanizing Ukrainians?
I can't follow your logic.
I linked to a BBC clip that was heard by hundreds of thousands of people (or more). While he might not be Putin himself, he is a prominent politician in Russia. If you believe Russia has free and fair elections, then he must be influential of a large number of people, and even if he's "far right", he's certainly not "marginal".
Putin himself has also made statements that Ukraine is committing Genocide of Russians [0].. so does that make Putin far-right as well? Are Putin's comments even the official position of the Russian government? He is, after all, just a
"politician" himself....
I'm not claiming "Russians" are war criminals just looking for an opportunity, I'm saying that if you're in a country being invaded... do not count on the invading forces to follow international conventions and treat you like an unarmed combatant when they see you... While most might -- you only have one life, and it only takes one soldier to end it. I would suggest people in such a situation flee, or resist.... not sit around and hope that soldiers in war will act like good human beings to an unarmed innocent bystander.
