Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement this morning (sat) on Holodomor Memorial Day. The PM said “Today, we join Ukrainian communities in Canada and around the world to remember the millions of innocent victims who suffered or lost their during the Holodomor.

In 1932 and 1933, the Soviet regime orchestrated a deliberate famine, a genocide against Ukrainian people to impose total control over Ukraine.

Trudeau adds “On the solemn day, I encourage all Canadians to honour the victims of the Holodomor, and to reflect on the vast contributions Ukrainian Canadians have made – and continue to make – to shape a stronger country for all of us.”

Premier Scott Moe also took to social media saying “Today, we remember those who perished during the Ukraine famine in 1932-1933.”
