Netherlands recognizes Holodomor as genocide

The House of Representatives of the Netherlands has recognized the 1932-1933 Holodomor as genocide, Ukraine’s Foreign Affairs Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Twitter.

It is an important step in establishing historical truth. I am grateful to the Netherlands for taking a firm stance on the need of accountability for past and present atrocities,” he tweeted.

The Holodomor or the Great Famine, was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians.

The official Day of Memory for Victims of the Holodomor on the fourth Saturday of November was established by the presidential decree of Leonid Kuchma on November 26, 1998.
