Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the move, which he said paid tribute to victims of the Soviet-era famine. It follows a similar move by the European Union last year.
It was one, so great. But we have more important things to vote or take care of. Holodomor was a genocide and took the lives of many in awful suffering. But we can’t do anything now. We gotta save those who are still alive.
I agree. This recognition sends a signal to would-be genocidal regimes in Europe that they’re not going to get away with things like they might have in the past.

An important step to do that is to learn from the past and call out what was right and what was wrong.
