Joseph Biden actually said...
I called it genocide because it has become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian. Horrible things that the Russians have done in Ukraine and we`re only going to learn more and more about the devastation, and we`ll let the lawyers decide internationally whether or not it qualifies but it sure seems that way to me.
Context
