Russian forces have committed genocide and want to eliminate the whole nation of people, but most world leaders do not, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Johnson's comments come amid growing acknowledgement that Russia wants to commit genocide in Ukraine, fueled by an op-ed published on state-run Russian news website RIA Novosti Sunday.
The timing of the op-ed and the atrocities in Bucha were classified by experts as Russia's pretext for genocide. Eugene Finkel wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that there was a plan to destroy Ukrainians.
The U.S. has denied the term genocide many times. President Joe Biden doesn't believe that the atrocities in Bucha constituted a genocide, but he does believe that Putin should face prosecution. National Security advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters Monday that they have seen atrocities, war crimes, and systematic deprivation of life in the Ukrainian people, but they have not yet seen a level of genocide.
The UN will vote on removing Russia from the Human Rights Council. Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, called for Russia to be suspended from the council.
The Russian rhetoric adds weight to the charges.
