The House of Commons of the British Parliament recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as the genocide of the Ukrainian people, a member of parliament reports.

“Today the British Parliament rightly took the decision to recognise the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as a genocide. We hope this goes some way to remember and commemorate the millions of Ukrainians who were starved to death. We stand with our friends in Ukraine,” a member of parliament, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee Alicia Kearns said on Twitter Thursday evening.
