The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine called on international partners to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people and to prevent further war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide by Russia. The ministry stated this in its comment on the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Famine.

 On November 26, Ukraine commemorates the multi-million victims of the crimes of the totalitarian communist regime - the mass artificial famine of 1921-1923 in Ukraine, the Holodomor of 1932-1933 - the genocide of the Ukrainian people and the mass artificial famine in Ukraine in 1946-1947.

 "For decades, the totalitarian regime in the Kremlin did everything possible to hide from the international community the consequences of its repressive policy against Ukrainians, silenced, distorted and denied the facts in order to avoid responsibility for the crimes committed," the agency said.

 "Today, in the 90th anniversary of the beginning of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine, the goal of the aggressive genocidal war of Russia is no different from the goal of the genocide of 1932-1933 - the destruction of the Ukrainian nation and its statehood. Continuing terrorist attacks on objects of cultural heritage, carrying out the forcible removal of Ukrainian children to Russian territory, the Russian Federation is waging a war against Ukrainian identity," the ministry said.

 The political and ideological narratives of the Stalin era, in particular regarding the planting of the image of the "hostile West" and the denial of the existence of Ukraine as an independent state, are particularly actively reproduced today in the totalitarian politics of present-day Russia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted.

 "The totalitarian communist regime carried out mass famines, and Putin's regime is conducting worldwide "Hunger Games". Hundreds of millions of people in Africa and Asia have already suffered from the destruction of agricultural infrastructure and the blocking of Ukrainian grain exports by the Russian Federation. As in 1932-1933, the NKVD of Ukrainians last food, and in 2022, Russian occupation troops rob Ukrainian elevators and take away Ukrainian grain, obstructing the work of the Black Sea Grain Agreement, the Kremlin uses food as a weapon to carry out its aggressive policy against Ukraine. Russia's aggression against Ukraine proves that unpunished evil and unrecognized historical errors are returning in our time on the worst scale," the statement said.

 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on international partners to restore historical justice - to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people and to prevent further war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide by Russia.
