The parliaments of Latvia and Estonia — former Soviet states that are now members of NATO and the European Union — officially declared on Thursday that Russia has committed genocide in Ukraine.
The Riigikogu, Estonia’s parliament, “recognizes as genocide against the Ukrainian people the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and its political and military leadership in conducting the renewed military aggression against Ukraine,” the legislature said in a statement on Thursday.
The parliament said that Russia had committed acts of genocide in areas including Mariupol, Bucha and Borodyanka, among others.
“These have consisted of murders, enforced disappearances, deportations, imprisonment, torture, rape, and desecration of corpses,” according to the statement.
