Russia's actions in Ukraine provide enough evidence to conclude that Russian troops are committing crimes aimed at destroying the Ukrainian people..

This is stated in a legal report by more than 30 leading legal scholars and experts in the field of genocide obtained by CNN.

They accuse the Russian Federation of violating several articles of the UN Convention on Genocide at once. Experts say there is a serious and imminent risk of genocide in Ukraine and support their accusations with a long list of evidence, including massacres of civilians, forced deportations and inhumane anti-Ukrainian rhetoric used by top Russian officials.

It should be published on May 27 and sent copies to parliaments, governments and international organizations around the world..

This is a very thorough and detailed examination of the evidence,” Azim Ibrahim of the New Lines Institute of Strategy and Policy told CNN..
