As I quoted, after the events of Bucha it was clear. The acts perpetrated in Bucha clearly are the acts that one finds in article II of the genocide convention. The question is intent. When the president of a country awards, with one of the highest honours, a regiment that has committed atrocities in Bucha, and states, in the presidential decree, that “the unit’s staff became a role model in fulfilling its military duty, valour, dedication and professionalism”, the president is clearly directing all of his troops to be committing acts of genocide.
