Statement of the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine on the 90-year mark of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine
24 November 2023 11:16

Honoring the memory of our compatriots who became victims of the Holodomor in Ukraine committed by the criminal communist totalitarian regime in 1932-1933,

emphasizing that the deliberate and purposeful murder by starvation of millions of Ukrainians was another tool of genocide against the Ukrainian people by Russian imperialism, which has not changed its goal of destroying Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,

stating that the seizure of Ukrainian grain by the Russian Federation from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the ecocide committed by the aggressor state as a result of the explosion of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, the shelling of critical infrastructure and warehouses with food and humanitarian aid, the elimination of Ukrainian political and cultural elites in the territories occupied by the Russian Federation, assimilation of the population, deportation and forced displacement of Ukrainian children outside of Ukraine, destruction, theft and seizure of cultural heritage sites, attempts to destroy Ukrainian national memory and Ukrainian identity and impose Russian identity instead, indicate that the methods used by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the Ukrainian people have not changed,

Emphasizing with gratitude that, unlike in 1932-1933, Ukraine is fighting Russian imperialism side by side with the countries and peoples of the free world, who have provided and continue to provide us with all the necessary assistance,

and in connection with the 90-year mark of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine:

honors all citizens who survived this terrible tragedy, when artificially created famine was used as a weapon of mass destruction against the Ukrainian people for its final subjugation, for the brutal suppression of its aspirations to build an independent state, for the purposes of the destruction of the Ukrainian nation, its identity, history and culture;

once again condemns the criminal actions of the totalitarian regime of the USSR aimed at organizing the Holodomor in Ukraine, which resulted in the significant destruction of the social foundations of the Ukrainian people, its centuries-old traditions, culture, gene pool and ethnic identity;

expresses deep gratitude to the foreign states and international organizations that have recognized the Holodomor in Ukraine as an act of genocide, namely Australia, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Republic of Ecuador, the Republic of Estonia, Georgia, Ireland, Iceland, Canada, the Republic of Colombia, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the United Mexican States, the Republic of Moldova, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Paraguay, the Republic of Peru, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Portugal, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Slovenia, the United States of America, Hungary, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the Republic of Croatia, the Czech Republic, as well as the Baltic Assembly, the European Parliament, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe;

recognizes the large-scale unprovoked Russian armed aggression against Ukraine as a continuation of Russia's genocidal imperial policy aimed at punishing Ukrainians for their desire to build a modern successful democratic state, for their civilizational choice to be part of the United Europe;

expresses deep gratitude to international organizations, governments, statespersons, representatives of the public sector and people from all over the world who supported the Ukrainian people in this difficult time and prevented the aggressor's attempts to repeat the genocide that took place 90 years ago;

once again calls on international organizations and parliaments of the world to restore historical justice and recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine as a crime of genocide against the Ukrainian people and emphasizes that this will be an important signal to those political regimes that want to resort to new acts of genocide, as well as a significant contribution to ensuring a peaceful and secure future for future generations.
