Croatia officially recognizes Holodomor as genocide of Ukrainian people

The Croatian parliament recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, announced this on Twitter, Rubryka reports.

The Croatian government on Thursday expressed its support for the parliamentary initiative to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. The top Ukrainian diplomat thanked the Croatian MPs for the decision.

"I am grateful to the Croatian parliament for honoring the memory of millions of victims with this historic vote. The global recognition of the Holodomor genocide continues to grow swiftly," he said.

As Rubryka reported, in June, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, thanked the Parliament of Slovakia for recognizing the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people.

In May, Britain recognized the Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. Also, in the same month, the Slovenian parliament recognized the Holodomor as genocide of the Ukrainian people

The Holodomor is a famine artificially created by Stalin's repressive regime in 1932-1933 during the heyday of collectivization, i.e., the forced confiscation of private property and the organization of collective farms.

Four to six million Ukrainians died due to a lack of food, according to various estimates, mostly in rural areas. Today, the parliaments of more than two dozen worldwide and the European Parliament have recognized the Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people.
