Disclaimer: I am Russian, so you could count all of this as a russian propaganda.
We don't want to kill a large number of people at all. In the first days of war, our army even had an order to somehow skip the fights with regular army and fight only so-called "volunteer batallions" - these are real, patented, nazis (google "azov battalion nazis" and you could find a lot of interesting photos). Of course, they failed and right now it is a bloody mess. But look at the videos captured cities - our troops didn't event drop the ukrainian flag and there are demonstrations:

Do you really think that this city looks like the city after the genocide? Come on.
What we really want is no NATO bases everywhere near our border and now looks like the only way (idk, maybe there were others, but Putin decided so) to do it is to destroy ukrainian state completely (the state, not the people).
So you think, what, any forcible annexation of a country is genocide because it has fighting? That’s not the definition. They aren’t exterminating Ukrainians, defined ethnically or nationally.

How does this not describe what’s happening? Could you not be obtuse, please, and either argue your point in more depth or say you’re wrong?
