Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk commented on the Resolution “On the Appeal of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to the Parliaments of the World on the Recognition of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as Genocide of the Ukrainian People” adopted today at the plenary session.

He reminded that this year the tragic date for the Ukrainian people will be commemorated - the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor of 1932-33.

“Then the totalitarian, communist regime conceived and implemented the crime - the extermination of millions of Ukrainians by starvation.

Past crimes must not be repeated. As well as the genocidal policy that is being implemented by the russian federation in Ukraine today. Because the methods of the aggressor then and now are the same,” the Chairman of the Parliament of Ukraine emphasized the main goal of the adopted document.

In particular, in his words, by the adopted Resolution, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine appealed to the parliaments of the world to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-33 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people, because today, in addition to the Ukrainian Parliament, only 17 UN member states out of 195 countries have recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide.

“We must restore historical justice. We have to draw the world’s attention to the tragedy and awareness of the parallels between the events of 90 years ago and the genocide of Ukrainians, which russia is trying to implement in the current unprovoked war against our people,” Ruslan Stefanchuk stressed.
