Welsh Parliament recognizes Holodomor as genocide against Ukrainian people

“We are grateful to the Senedd for recognizing the 1932–1933 Holodomor in Ukraine as genocide committed against Ukrainians. It’s a significant milestone in restoring historical justice and raising awareness about the millions of innocent victims!” the Embassy of Ukraine to the UK posted on X.

It is noted on the website of the Welsh Parliament that the Senedd believes that the Holodomor was a predetermined crime committed and led by Stalin and the Soviet Government against the people of Ukraine; regards the Holodomor as an act of genocide; and continues to stand with the people of the Ukraine as they face Putin's illegal war.

The Parliament also noted the crucial role of Welsh journalist Gareth Jones in bringing the cruelty of the Holodomor to the attention of the world.

As reported, 28 countries already recognized the Holodomor as genocide against the Ukrainian people at the state level. In another four countries, relevant decisions were made by one of the chambers of the parliament.
