      Again I’m not out here to defend Russia or anything but forced cultural assimilation is not Genocide or ethnic cleansing. Under prohibited acts you can find the requirements

      Genocide is about intentionally murdering people of an ethnic group or forcefully sterilizing them so their race dies out. Russia wants to own the Ukranians land, not murder them.

      I’d personally prefer the option to assimilate rather than being straight up murdered.

        You need to read the final prohibited act, Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
