The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi announced this on October 12.
"Restoring historical justice and paying tribute to Holodomor victims sends a message that justice is inevitable for all past and present Moscowʼs crimes," Zelenskyi said.
PACE also called on all Council of Europe member state parliaments and other parliaments to follow this example.
- Holodomor in Ukraine of 1932-1933 was officially recognized as genocide of the Ukrainian people by more than 30 states.
- On December 15, 2022, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor in Ukraine, which recognizes the events of the 1930s as genocide of the Ukrainian people.
