    that’s hard to pin down. have there been like holocaust level put people on trains to be gassed in camps? no. but, there has been shelling of civilian areas of separatist held Donbas, including using white phosphorus, that can very much be argued to be targetted attacks to kill Russian speaking non combatants just because of their heritage. do some Ukrainians want to genocide those Russians in their east? very likely yes. was the Ukrainian government going to do a full on genocide? probably not

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH35raTPVu8&t=1032s (video in Russian but youtube has subtitles) a DNR press conference where they claim white phosphorus was dropped on them, and talk about other attacks. this is not an unbiased or comprehensive source

        finding stuff from 6 years ago is more and more of a pain as organisations keep removing old things they publish from their websites >.> . though, with all of this said, don't take it as 1 sided that the DNR and LPR are good guys fighting off evil Ukraine, you can find reports of them doing fucked up shit too https://www.gazeta.ru/comments/2014/11/05_e_6289401.shtml as this source in Russian talks about. it's just the Ukrainian state has far more resources and powerful munitions, as well as the backing of the US and NATO at large
