The Parliament of Romania adopted the Declaration on Condemnation of the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-1933.

Agepress informs about it.

According to this document, Romanian parliamentarians "strongly condemn the actions directed against the Ukrainian people, which led to millions of victims, and express solidarity with the Ukrainian people."

248 deputies voted for this decision and one more "abstained".

The declaration also condemns a similarly criminal method by which Romanians in Bessarabia (apparently referring to Moldovans whom Bucharest considers Romanians. - Ed.) were subjected to deliberate, artificial starvation for the purpose of forced collectivization in 1946-1947.

"The Holodomor was a unique massacre on the territory of the Soviet Union in terms of the scale, pace and nature of the crimes committed by the leaders and institutions of the Soviet Union. In the early 1930s, the courage and determination of Ukrainians to resist collectivization caused the unbridled hatred of the totalitarian system. Historians estimated that in the early 1930s In the 1960s, there were more than 4,000 uprisings and local uprisings against collectivization, taxation, terror and violence by the Soviet authorities... The loss of human lives amounted to about 10 million victims. The true numbers will never be known," said the deputy to Alexander Muraru.

He added that currently more than 14 million Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes, and systematic attacks and mass murders of Ukrainians by the Russians set the continent back 90 years.

"The purposeful destruction of Ukraine's energy structures, water and gas supplies, has a purposeful goal - to starve, cause suffering and slow death of the Ukrainian people and cause an unprecedented mass exodus. All these methods prove to us that Vladimir Putin and the military-political elite from the Kremlin have in fact restored Stalin's plan to destroy the Ukrainian nation, and this should cause not only opposition, but also the solidarity of humanity," he added.

Romanian MPs also expressed their support for Ukraine "at a time when all of Moscow, under the shadow of another regime, has been committing crimes against humanity since February."

Earlier, Pope Francis condemned the war against Ukraine and referred to the Holodomor as a genocide of Ukrainians. 

Polish President Andrzej Duda compared Putin to Stalin and recalled the Holodomor.
