Ireland recognizes Holodomor of Ukrainian people as genocide

On November 24, the upper house of the Irish parliament recognized the Holodomor, the Soviet-made famine of the Ukrainian people, as genocide

The embassy of Ukraine in Ireland informs about this on Twitter.

Today, at a meeting of the Irish government, the deputies voted to condemn the genocide of Ukrainians in the 1930s.

"A truly historic decision by the Seanad Éireann to recognise Holodomor of 1932-33 in Ukraine as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. Ireland is among our closest friends that is not afraid to call a spade a spade," the message reads.
