Details: "Restoring historical justice and paying tribute to Holodomor victims sends a message that justice is inevitable for all past and present Moscow’s crimes," Zelenskyy tweeted, expressing his gratitude for this decision.
Kuleba also thanked PACE for recognising Stalin’s Holodomor [artificial famine of the Ukrainian people – ed.] of 1932-1933 as an act of genocide in his post.
"It is also important that PACE encouraged all Council of Europe members and other parliaments to follow suit. This is a morally, historically, and politically right thing to do," Kuleba noted.
The decision was made with 73 votes "for" and one "against".
Background:
- As of now, Holodomor has been recognised as the genocide of the Ukrainian people by the parliaments of about 30 countries in the world, as well as by the European Parliament.
- The Italian Senate voted in July to recognise Holodomor as the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
