Russia has placed approximately 20,000 Ukrainian children up for adoption to be raised as Russians, rather than returning them to their families after the invasion. It’s genocide.

They were children abandoned in a war zone. Russia needs to do something about keeping them fed, housed, and clothed. If it didn't, then it would still be getting accused of genocide, though in that case with more reason! Furthermore, Russia clearly and demonstrably is cooperating with humanitarian organizations to reunite families, and many have been reunited already. The accusation is alarmist nonsense from the perpetual self-proclaimed ethnic victims to justify their fascist cult to literal perpetrators of the Holocaust.
Rescuing them isn’t the issue. Plenty of NATO nations are providing amnesty to Ukrainian refugees.
The difference here is adoption. There are no intentions to return these children to Ukraine after the invasion.

Aside from the ICC notoriously being an American running-dog, charges are not convictions. We've already seen Russia cooperate with returning children, we can't say that there's no intention of it.
So you trust Putin to be more honest than the ICC?
Good luck with that.
The ICC is not trustworthy, and I certainly trust the objective events that even liberal media report on when they come into conflict with what the ICC says. I don't know what Putin says on this and have not cited him once because that would be absurd. You are denying reality in favor of statements.
I referenced credible sources (here’s another) substantiating the adoption of abducted Ukrainian children by Russian families.
You referenced your own opinion coupled with speculation, and attempted to discredit widely accepts facts from multinational sources.
Yeah. I’m the one who’s denying reality.
Kyive independent is not credable nor is it remotly objective, it is a mouth pice of the Ukranian government
So again you use your opinion to discredit a source without providing any substantiated information.
Your opinions aren’t facts. Maybe you should provide a reputable source to support your opinions before calling challenging the credibility of others’ factual sources.
I have provided the same level of evidence, that you have that it is credible or factual or not bias. You where the one that made the positive claim, as is typical rules you have the burdon of proof
second my evidence is ... BASIC meida litericy skills
You haven’t provided one link to a source in this thread. I’m done with your time-wasting. Good night.
you merely posted a link aserting that it was credible, I said that it was not, no one has presented a link over the credibility, my argument is that basic media litericy shows that this has severe biases and not truthful, you have provided nothing, we are still operating under asertions
