I think it quite fits perfectly the definition if you analyze the actions of Russia: - Having a presidential statement saying Ukraine and Ukrainians don't exist (a major red flag, from a culture that is at least as old, if not older than Russia); - Kidnapping and filtrating 30.000 children (one of the crimes of genocide); - Terrorizing and bringing unlivable conditions to an ethnic group just because of their ethnicity and nationality - Russia has destroyed Ukraine power grids, destroyed medical facilities, much like they did in Chechnya; - Stealing and erasing cultural artifacts, changing school curriculum of occupied territory to indoctrinate children against their culture; Not to mention the mass executions of civilians, just because they were Ukrainians. But the list goes on.
