Sure, here you go.
Here is one about millions of Ukrainians being imprisoned in Ukraine, held as Zelensky's hostages, since the start of the war: https://theconversation.com/why-banning-men-from-leaving-ukraine-violates-their-human-rights-178411
Here is ex-AFU colonel talking about how Zelensky turned Pokrovsk into a concentration camp: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7AXSB_WnYV0
As for the kidnappings, this shit happens every single day, there are so many videos and articles IN WESTERN MEDIA about this, how some people are still pretending this does not happen is beyond me... There is even a word for that now - busification. One moment you walk on a street minding your own business, and another moment you're being packed in a van by people in masks. Just enter it in your favourite search engine. https://uadraftmuseum.ch/

So, how would you name it instead? OK sure, maybe "genocide" is too sensational, would "exterminate" be better? Or maybe simple "mass murder of hundreds of thousands (if not millions...)" is better?
EDIT: Although, considering that they started talking about genociding FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS "if such a need would arise" - I'll continue calling this for what this is - a fucking genocide.

Just cause some "deep state" cornball says something on youtube, that doesn't make it real.
Just cause some dude says something about drafting 14yos, that doesn't mean it's actually happening.
Your sources are garbage, misleading, and definitely do not qualify as "genocide".
Just because it's not CNN or the NYT saying it (they would never go against the state department unless public opinion has already massively shifted) doesn't mean it's a bad source.
Le monde is one of the most "reputable" sources in Europe and they're corroborating, is a good source only a US source? For a conflict on the other side of the world? There's literally video evidence of the kidnappings.
