On Wednesday, November 30, Germany became the 19th country to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, this decision was supported by all the democratic factions of the German parliament - the Social Democrats, Free Democrats, the Greens and the CDU / CSU.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba noted that Germany's recognition of the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people is not just a historic decision.
"This is an event that we have been told about for many years: it will never happen. Simply because it will not happen. But the principle of President Zelensky's foreign policy is that nothing is impossible," he stressed.
Kuleba noted that this restores historical justice and honors the memory of millions of victims of the genocide that "Stalin and his henchmen committed against our people."
"The world couldn't stop this crime then, but it can at least stop the Russian lies about it now and call it what it was: genocide," the minister added.
According to him, this is also the result of many years of efforts of Ukrainian diplomacy - the Ukrainian Embassy in Germany, our community, an active civil society.
The Foreign Ministry also notes that the resolution "Holodomor in Ukraine: we remember - we honor - we warn" the Bundestag also calls for further political, financial, humanitarian and military support for Ukraine.
