Funny, if you mention the genocide in Ukraine on .ml you can get banned.

Which one can you link the Wikipedia page saying Ukraine genocide? Somehow I can't find anyone saying there is a genocide in Ukraine.

It's almost like you're trying to devalue the actual term genocide, which is being committed by Europe and America right now in Palestine.

Civilian casualties in Gaza: >83%

Civilian casualties in Ukraine: 3%

Oh I see, that’s why .ml bans users for talking about genocide in Ukraine.

Is there a genocide in America too right now?

How about in Europe?

Words have meaning. For all its faults Russia kills far less civilian casualties than an actual genocide.
