German term or phrase: und genau dagegen führt XXX einen schrecklichen Vernichtungkrieg
Meine Kollegen haben nie versucht im XXXX ihre Ideologie durch Symbolik zu verbreiten. Sie helfen um zu helfen. Allerdings vertreten sie auch die Position einer neuen XXX, die in ihrem System nicht auf die Demütigung des Individuums aufbaut, sondern auf Freiheit und Wahrung der Menschenwürde. Dafür sind die Menschen auf den Maidan gegangen und genau dagegen führt XXX einen schrecklichen Vernichtungkrieg.

and against which Pxxxn is now waging a dreadful war of annihilation
Explanation:
Dafür sind die Menschen auf den Maidan gegangen und genau dagegen führt XXX einen schrecklichen Vernichtungkrieg.

This is the principle for which people went out onto the Maidan and (precisely) against which Pxxxn is now waging a dreadful war of annihilation.

Vernichtungkrieg > Vernichtungskrieg

And when they went out onto the Maidan there was no aggression, there was only a quiet strength that changed reality," she said.
