MSP Recognises Ukraine's Holodomor Memorial Day

Colin Beattie MSP has today marked the 92nd anniversary of Holodomor, the term used to describe the Soviet State and Josef Stalin creating a man-made famine between 1923-1933 that killed between 3.5-7 million Ukrainians.
 
Commenting Colin Beattie MSP said:
 
“23rd November marks Holodomor Memorial Day. It is important we remember the victims of this inhumane, cruel act and express solidarity with the people of Ukraine who were victims of this genocide.
 
“As we commemorate this act of genocide, we should also continue to show our ongoing support for Ukraine as we observe the sheer brutality and inhumanity of the Russian State's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
 
“It is important we remember this tragic act and work together to ensure that this can never happen again.”
