      The key feature is “intent to destroy.” Russia isn’t trying to destroy the concept of Ukraine, either as an ethnicity or a country (they just want it to be a puppet-state obedient to their dictates). The US wasn’t trying to destroy the concept of Vietnam or Vietnamese people.

      Other people could draw different conclusions I guess, but to me it’s undeniable that Israel’s goal is to steadily destroy the whole concept of Palestine, with maybe some isolated individuals of Palestinian ethnicity still surviving in some location inside or outside Israel, but with Palestine itself completely erased.

        Actually, Putin does want to destroy the concept of Ukraine and he said it is not a real country.

        They are forcefully removing children and telling them they are Russian. Which is exactly part of the quoted definition from the comment you are replying to.
