russia’s Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) has published a 70-page manual for invaders to use against children in temporarily occupied territories, specifically targeting those from the Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

The Holodomor was a series of artificial famines by the USSR in 1921–1923, 1932–1933, and 1946–1947. The most devastating (1932–1933) was a genocide of Ukrainians, taking millions of lives.
