| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Lower House of the Dutch Parliament recognized the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people. This was announced on July 7 by the deputy from the Democrats 66 party in the country's parliament, Shurd Shurdsma, on his page on the social network. “The Dutch parliament recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people,” he wrote. As reported by IA Regnum, on June 13, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the Chamber of Deputies of Luxembourg recognized the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people. In Ukraine, there is a law according to which the famine of 1932-1933, called the “Holodomor” by the country's authorities, is recognized as “genocide of the Ukrainian people.” At the same time, the famine in those years affected not only Ukraine, but also many regions of the USSR, including the North Caucasus, the Lower and Middle Volga regions, a significant part of the Central Black Earth region, Kazakhstan, Western Siberia, and the Southern Urals. The population of all affected regions, inhabited by people of various nationalities, suffered from hunger. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the adoption by the French National Assembly of a resolution recognizing the Holodomor of 1932–1933 in the Soviet Union as “the genocide of the Ukrainian population” as a clear example of outright speculation that the country’s leadership is ready to go to in order to convince its citizens of the need to “fuel the armed conflict” far beyond the borders of its own state . |
