Switzerland’s Parliament has officially recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people. This decision, announced by Ukraine’s Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk, aligns Switzerland with over 27 other countries, including the UK, France, and the European Parliament. The Holodomor, a man-made famine orchestrated by Stalin's regime, resulted in the suffering and deaths of millions of Ukrainians. The Swiss National Council's recognition means Switzerland joins a growing list of 29 countries that have acknowledged the Holodomor as genocide.
