Russia Inflicts "Maximum Pain" as War Drags On, 11 Million Ukrainians Displaced

We speak with Lyiv-based professor Volodymyr Dubovyk about the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, where Russian attacks have displaced more than 11 million people, including two-thirds of Ukraine's children. Russian forces want to inflict the maximum pain on Ukraine," says Dubovyk. President Biden described Russia's actions in Ukraine as genocide" on Tuesday, prompting State Department spokesperson Ned Price to say on Wednesday that international lawyers would have to determine whether Russia's actions in Ukraine constitute genocide. Dubovyk says proving genocide is best left to experts, not politicians, but he rebukes French President Emmanuel Macron's claim that Russia and Ukraine are incapable of such crimes because they are brotherly nations."
