You’re getting little in the way of benefit of the doubt because you’re repeatedly trying to make Russia look good and misleading about this.

11 maintainers from sanctioned Russian companies were removed from their position where they could submit patches without any approval required.

Even if there weren’t sanctions, it would be good to make that move. Russia could easily utilise these people to introduce insecurities. We do not need another xz utils disaster.

Yes, Russia is committing genocide as the UN defines it. Stop trying to minimise what they’re doing. Genocide. Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine.

Genocide: “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”

Putin has been leveling entire cities. He said Ukraine isn’t a real country with a real culture. He has been abducting children and bringing them into Russia so they grow up as Russians. He has been altering signs, maps, etc to erase Ukrainian names.

That is genocide.
