A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the 93rd anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, known as the "Holodomor", should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine, and that Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine once again threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people, while exacerbating the problems of global hunger.

Summary

This Senate resolution commemorates the 93rd anniversary of the Holodomor , the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, serving as a stark reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the Ukrainian people. It draws a parallel between this historical tragedy and Vladimir Putin's current brutal war against Ukraine, asserting that the war threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people and exacerbates global hunger. The resolution highlights Moscow's weaponization of food through intentional attacks on Ukraine's agricultural sector and energy grid, along with its withdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative, which has significantly increased global food insecurity. The Senate condemns Putin's war, his repeated public rejections of a separate Ukrainian identity, and the weaponization of hunger, calling for an immediate cessation of attacks on Ukrainian civilians, troop withdrawal, and full respect for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It solemnly remembers the Holodomor, extending its deepest sympathies to victims, survivors, and families, and recognizes the findings that Joseph Stalin and his regime committed genocide against Ukrainians. Furthermore, the resolution supports Ukraine's continuing efforts to defend against Russian aggression, promote democratic principles, and deepen its partnership with the United States and other democratic nations.
