During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, national parliaments including those of Poland,[5] Ukraine,[6] Canada, Estonia,[7] Latvia,[8] Lithuania[9] and Ireland[10] declared that genocide was taking place. Scholars and commentators including Eugene Finkel,[11][12] Timothy D. Snyder[13] and Gregory Stanton;[14] and legal experts such as Otto Luchterhandt[15] and Zakhar Tropin,[16] have made claims of varying degrees of certainty that Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. A comprehensive report by the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights[17] concluded that there exists a "very serious risk of genocide" in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Human rights lawyer Juan E. Méndez stated on 4 March 2022 that the genocide claim was worth investigating, but should not be presumed.[18] Genocide scholar Alexander Hinton stated on 13 April 2022 that Russian president Vladimir Putin's genocidal rhetoric would have to be linked to the war crimes in order to establish genocidal intent, but it is "quite likely" that Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine.[14] War crimes committed by Russian forces include sexual violence,[19] torture, extrajudicial killings and looting.[20]

On 17 March 2023, following an investigation of war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights, for the unlawful deportation and transfer of children from Ukraine to Russia during the invasion.[21] According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, over 307,000 children were transferred to Russia from 24 February to 18 June 2022, alone.[22] In April 2023, the Council of Europe deemed the forced transfers of children as constituting an act of genocide in with an overwhelming majority of 87 in favour of the resolution to 1 against and 1 abstaining.[23]
