Contrary to popular perceptions, shaped by the Holocaust and Rwanda, perpetrating genocide does not require large numbers of victims. The intent and logic of targeting are the key. The 1948 U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group.”


If one doesn't see a deliberate intent after Russian State-owned newspaper publishes an article that openly calls for a destruction of Ukrainian Nation by "liqudating" elites and "reeducating the rest", If one doesn't see the intent after forced departarion of children. If one doesn't see the intent after. Putin DECORATED the unit committing mass murders... It is pointless to argue with such person

If those mercs are low-qualified idiots with minimal training... really not much

I don't think Ukraine is at risk of running out of manpower any time soon. It's a Russian problem. Ukraine has mobilised, Russia still hasn't (since it stubbornly insists it ain't fighting a war).
Also, light infantry has its uses. Just because the mercs are not serving in armoured units doesn't mean they're some useless cannon fodder.

Currently, recruitment offices send volunteers with no prior military experience home with "we'll call you later if you'll be needed now go and contribute to the economy".

Ukraine has also canceled the spring draft, seeing no need for a bunch of untrained youngsters.

If manpower would be a problem, we would see a quite different picture.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov: “If Ukraine continues its provocations by attacking Russian cities, Russia will be forced to declare war"

A Russian cruiser which was famously defied by Ukrainian troops on a small island at the start of the war has been hit by Ukrainian rockets in the Black Sea, according to Ukrainian officials.

The Moskva, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, received "very serious damage", Odesa regional governor Maksym Marchenko said.

"It has been confirmed that the missile cruiser Moskva today went exactly where it was sent by our border guards on Snake Island!" he said.

Heh. I do hope it is true. (It will be rather embarrassing if Russians will show it undamaged tomorrow)

Very possible, with the latest arms deliveries including long range anti-ship weaponry

Actually, it is claimed that it was a Ukrainian anti-ship missile - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptune_(cruise_missile)

Well it depends, maybe they deliberately picked an opposition member.

It makes no difference whatsoever. Even if this opposition member is someone fighting against the Russian army in Ukraine, the message is still wrong.
