“There is no doubt that what Russia is doing in Ukraine is genocide,” said Republican Jim Rish, one of the resolution’s sponsors.
In this regard, he recalled the crimes committed by the Russian military in Irpin, Gostomel and other Ukrainian cities.
“The international community is documenting many Russian abuses, war crimes throughout Ukraine. It’s time for the United States and the world to recognize it as such,” the senator said.
An influential Democratic lawmaker, the head of the US Helsinki Commission, Senator Ben Cardin stressed that Russia’s actions in Ukraine are nothing but genocide, and it is not limited to war.
“Russia is trying to destroy not only people and buildings in Ukraine, but also the Ukrainian language, Ukrainian history and Ukrainian culture. This is genocide. The world must recognize this fact, and those responsible must take responsibility,” Cardin said.
