Stefanchuk on recognition of Russia as sponsor of terrorism and Holodomor as genocide: Decisive action will follow resolutions

The Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Ruslan Stefanchuk, expressed his belief that the recognition of Russia as a sponsor of terrorism, and the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people, will be followed by decisive action.

That’s according to the Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament’s posting on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"World support! Holodomor! Parliaments of Romania and Moldova, the Upper House of the Parliament of Ireland recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people, that is, a deliberate action of the totalitarian regime aimed at the destruction of the Ukrainian nation," he noted.

According to Stefanchuk, "famine then became a weapon that killed millions of Ukrainians. Today, a terrorist country is killing us with missiles. Just as deliberately, because in their sick Russian minds we had to submit to a dictator."

"Yesterday, the European Parliament recognized Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. And believe me, following the political statements, following the adopted resolutions, there will be decisive action. Global isolation is the future of Russia," the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada emphasized.

As reported, on November 23, the European Parliament by a majority of votes adopted a resolution recognizing the Russian Federation as a state sponsor of terrorism.

On the same day, deputies of both chambers of the Romanian Parliament voted at a joint meeting for a declaration condemning the deliberate famine (Holodomor) that the Ukrainian people suffered in 1932-1933.

On November 24, the Upper House of the Irish Parliament recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine as genocide. On the same day, the relevant declaration was adopted by the Parliament of Moldova. A total of 54 deputies voted for the draft and not a single vote was cast against it.
