Putin's Genocide on Holocaust Memorial Day

If there are aliens who have taken a road trip to our remote part of the Milky Way they must be deeply appalled at what they continue to find here – most recently the calculated campaign by Putin's Russian Army to murder civilians in Ukraine.
If those aliens have conquered time and space they would have found that their periodic visits have witnessed one form of genocide or another through virtually every century of human "civilization" on this globe.
Before going any further, it would be wise to define the term. Wikipedia says "Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people — usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group — in whole or in part. Raphael Lemkin coined the term in 1944,[1][2] combining the Greek word γένος (genos, "race, people") with the Latin suffix -caedo ("act of killing").[3]"
