Iceland Recognises Holodomor as Genocide

On March 23, the state parliament unanimously recognised the Soviet Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people

In 1932-1933, the Moscow authorities created an artificial famine in the territory of Ukraine, as a result of which tens of millions of Ukrainians died of starvation. We know this as Holodomor. 28 modern states recognised this decision and the action of the Soviet government as genocide of the Ukrainian people. Today Iceland joined them.

"The historical front is a battle for justice. The Russians will not be able to erase the evidence of their own crimes," Andrii Yermak commented the Alþingi's decision. 

In May, Reykjavik will host a summit of the Council of Europe, which will discuss a tribunal for the Russian military-political leadership and a reparation mechanism for the economic involvement of Russia in the restoration of Ukraine. Today, the amount of damage caused to Ukraine by the Russian war is $411 billion.
