Posting on Facebook, Markarova said that atrocities committed by Russian forces, including attacks on civilians, targeted strikes on maternity hospitals and medical facilities, and the forced relocation of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians—among them children—meet the criteria of genocide as defined in Article II of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. 


If adopted, the resolution will deal a significant diplomatic blow to Moscow and increase the pressure on the U.S. and its allies to “hold Russian political leaders and military personnel accountable for aggressive war, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide,” Markarova added. 


The resolution also pledges support for non-governmental organizations and international tribunals conducting investigations into the ongoing conflict, now entering its third year. 


A bipartisan coalition of U.S. representatives introduced the legislation, the first of its kind in the 119th Congress, to address the war in Ukraine.
