US President Joe Biden issued a statement on Holodomor Remembrance Day, in which he pledged further support from Washington for Ukraine. Source European Pravda Details Biden mentioned that the Holodomor was a manmade famine organised by the Soviet regime in 19321933, which killed millions of Ukrainians.
Quote from Biden We remember the men, women, and children who perished during the Holodomor.
We also honor the survivors of the Holodomor and their descendants who, despite Stalins efforts to repress Ukraines national identity, have built a free, independent, and democratic Ukraine. Today, as we mark the solemn anniversary of the Holodomor, we also renew our commitment to stand with the Ukrainian people in their time of need.
More details Biden continued by reiterating that Russia had been waging a fullscale war of aggression against Ukraine for three years, hoping to wipe it off the map.
Quote from Biden In this effort, Russia has failed.
Kyiv stands free, thanks in part to the United States and the more than 50 other countries that are committed to providing Ukraine with the assistance it needs to defend itself.
My message to the Ukrainian people on this day is clear The United States honors your past and stands with you in the present.
On this day, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting Ukraines ongoing defense of its freedom, its pursuit of justice, and its path to the EuroAtlantic future it has chosen for itself. The courage and strength of the Ukrainian people will prevail.
Today we honour the victims of the Holodomor.
This statue of a starved Ukrainian child is so poignant.
While I was there, passers by brought grain and apples to lay at her feet.
This terrible crime of the Soviet regime against the people of Ukraine must never be forgotten.
