De-population in order to repopulate with Russians.
They don't need territory. Russia is no way at all over populated.
This is just plain genocide. Time for the world to declare it as such and create that no-fly zone and force Russia to abandon all Ukrainian territories. Time to stop this war before more unnecessary blood is spilled. Then isolate Russia completely (and sanction those that support them, those that wants to hitch their wagons to Russia.
I am sorry to say that I am even more ashamed of the South African government which cannot even take a principled stand even it it means telling your "buddies" they are on the wrong track.
We have a lovely country, but a real shatty government (ruling party).
