That "small" part is about 20% of Ukraine and they are only "staying" there because that's the limit of what the Russian army has been able to secure so far. Putin would be tap dancing in Lviv if the Russian army could take it.
While the war in Ukraine is not the same degree of tragedy we are seeing in Palestine, there are still issues with ethnically Ukrainian children being taken from their homes and ethnically Ukranian citizens being told they must either take up Russian passports/citizenship or leave. Forced migrations also count as genocide/ethnic cleansing.
Forced migration of Ukrainians from borderlands into central Ukraine is not genocide! Jesus, people will twist and turn to keep their moral high ground. Imagine if it was the other way around and Ukraine crossed the border and pushed Russians further into Russia and tell me if you think that would actually be genocide. It's a ridiculous proposition.
And it's made more ridiculous when you understand the history of how the border was defined. It would be like saying pushing the Mexican border North into Texas and then dsiplacing the Americans that live in South Texas into North Texas is ethnic cleansing. No it's not. It's a border dispute.
