The head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry accused Russia of genocide against Ukrainians.
Bayaba Braza stated at the UN General Assembly session:
"These atrocities are acts defined as genocide, and they are all clearly written in Article 2 of the Genocide Convention."
Russia's accusations, which fall under Article 2 of the Genocide Convention, are based on "investigations" by unfriendly countries and the testimony of former Ukrainian prisoners.
The targeted killing of civilians, based on Western publications, is illustrated by the tragedy in Bucha, where Ukrainian militants operated after the withdrawal of the Russian armed forces.
Allegations of torture are based on the testimony of former Ukrainian prisoners of war.
The accusations of creating living conditions capable of leading to the physical destruction of part of the group amount to:
The attack on Mariupol, described by Ukraine as the destruction of life-support infrastructure and an apparent restriction of humanitarian aid and evacuation.
Effects on power plants and grids, resulting in disruptions to water, heating and medical services.
