House to Recognize Ukrainian Famine as Genocide, Condemn Russia's War.

This resolution asks the U.S. House to officially recognize the 1932-1933 Ukrainian famine, called the Holodomor, as a genocide. It would also condemn Russia's current war in Ukraine and support efforts for peace. This provides a clear stance from the House on historical and current events affecting the Ukrainian people.

What Would Change

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives does not have a formal resolution from the 119th Congress recognizing the Holodomor as a genocide. It also does not have one condemning current Russian actions in this specific way. If this resolution passes, the House would officially recognize the 1932-1933 Ukrainian famine as a genocide. It would also condemn Soviet human rights abuses and Russia's current war in Ukraine. Additionally, it would support peace efforts.
