Allegations of genocide have been made on both sides during the armed conflict in Ukraine. This article reviews the claims, concluding that they appear to be inconsistent with the crime of genocide as defined in Article II of the 1948 Convention, as interpreted by the International Court of Justice, the ad hoc tribunals and the International Law Commission. Most of the claims appear to use the term genocide in a rhetorical sense, without serious concern for the legal issues. The available evidence does not permit inferences to be drawn that the punishable acts are committed with genocidal intent, to the exclusion of other reasonable explanations
