Is it? Can you point me to anywhere that that's the stated goal?
Never has the stated goal included wanting to genocide Ukrainians. To say that's the case is to pretend your imagination is reality.
'"What Russia Should Do with Ukraine" (Russian: Что Россия должна сделать с Украиной, romanized: Chto Rossiya dolzhna sdelat' s Ukrainoy), is an article written by Timofey Sergeytsev and published by the Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti. The article calls for the full destruction of Ukraine as a state, as well as the full destruction of the Ukrainian national identity in accordance with Russia's aim to accomplish the "denazification" of the latter.'

Pretty genocidal if you ask me. And before you say articles on state-owned media don't count, let's take a minute to remember what Russia did to Chechenya:
