Sergey Lavrov says Russia will push for international recognition of German Nazi crimes against Soviet civilians as genocide on a par with the Holocaust. He pointed to the scale of the killings: "The atrocities reached a scale unprecedented in history… around 14 million civilians in the Soviet Union were killed during the occupation... [and these crimes have no statute of limitations." Lavrov linked this to the legal framework that followed WWII, noting that "the outcomes of the Nuremberg Tribunal laid the foundation" for the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.
