The Welsh Parliament — Senedd — supported the resolution recognizing the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people.

This was reported by the Embassy of Ukraine in Great Britain.

The resolution passed by the Welsh Parliament means that it considers the Holodomor "a premeditated crime committed and led by Stalin and the Soviet government against the people of Ukraine" and recognizes it as an act of genocide.

The resolution also notes the decisive role of the Welsh journalist Gareth Jones in drawing the attention of the world community to the cruelty of the Holodomor and confirms the support of the people of Ukraine in their struggle against Russian aggression.

  • On November 28, 2006, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law "On the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine", which recognized the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people.
  • On December 15, 2022, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the ninetieth anniversary of the Holodomor in Ukraine, which recognizes the events of the 1930s as the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
