Genocide of Ukrainians 2022: Russia has executed lists of teachers, journalists and priests before a large-scale invasion

Russia created firing lists, which included Ukrainian teachers, journalists and priests – Budanov

According to Budanov, the Russians were preparing for a new genocide of Ukrainians long before February 24, 2022. Preparations included the creation of hit lists, mobile crematoriums and included mass graves. In particular, Russian invaders were instructed on the location of collective graves.

“The atrocities committed by Russian military units in Borodyanka, Bucha, Hostomel, Izium, Mariupol, and many other towns in Ukraine demonstrated that these identical and synchronized actions were based on clear doctrinal positions of Russia’s genocidal policy, as dictated by the government and military leadership,” Budanov added.

It is worth recalling that just a few days before the full-scale invasion in 2022, the Western publication Foreign Policy published an article stating that Moscow was compiling lists of Ukrainian politicians, activists, and journalists who were to be killed or arrested during the war in Ukraine.
