This was Google translated, but I think it gets the same meaning:
If I am anticipating your line of thought correctly, this quote should clarify and disproves that this journalist wants to kill the Ukrainian population. That is a bald-faced lie. On top of that, this is an opinion piece in the news. State run or not, it is not an official position of the Russian government.
I never confront a guy pointing a gun in my direction. ;-) So think whatever you wish to.

What you are doing here is a form of gish-galloping. If I had the capacity to debunk everyone who says "Russia is committing genocide!" (of which there are countless), then I should be the UN's top investigator. Maybe bring up a specific example?
But what's funny is even in that article, at least three people, including the Senior Legal Counsel of the Human Rights Watch are quoted saying that the evidence for genocide is insufficient.
Their thinking is theirs, as well. I neither impose my perspective, nor accept other views at a face value. One need to earn my respect and trust first.
