The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has officially recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. This designation comes after years of debate and discussion surrounding the mass starvation that occurred during this period under Soviet leader Josef Stalin. The recognition by the Council of Europe adds weight to the historical significance of the Holodomor, which resulted in the deaths of millions of Ukrainians. This recognition is expected to have significant implications for Ukraine's ongoing efforts to seek justice and acknowledgement for the victims of this tragic event.

I am grateful to @coe Parliamentary Assembly for recognising the 1932-1933 Holodomor as genocide against the Ukrainian people. Restoring historical justice and paying tribute to Holodomor victims sends a message that justice is inevitable for all past and present Moscow’s crimes.
