Thre is no systematic murder in Ukraine. But this is how the UN defines genocide:

  > a. Killing members of the group;
  > b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  > c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  > d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  > e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

There are credible reports of b. and c. in Eastern Ukraine against Russians. Therefore, by UN definition, genocide. You and I might not like that definition, but Putin has a leg to stand on.
