The politics of calling the Russia-Ukraine war a genocide - a podcast by WBUR & NPR

Last Tuesday, President Joe Biden declared genocide was taking place in Ukraine.

"I called it genocide because it’s become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of even being able to be a Ukrainian," the president said.
