There's definitely a distinction between ethnic cleansing and genocide here, although I'm pretty sure that Russia's forced adoption of Ukrainian children falls under both categories.

This argument is useful to me, cause it really has me boning up on Ukrainian history. It just sucks knowing I'm gonna have to make a case to a friend that she's been falling for Russian propaganda.
