The Soviet Government denied the existence of this famine until the end of the 1980s, but it’s been seared on the minds of the people of Ukraine for 90 years. It’s important that we remember too.

To conclude, the sadness beyond words is that this isn't something that has been laid to rest forever in history. Here we are in 2022. Last week, an official of the United Nations said that the forces of Russia are stealing grain from Ukraine that could lead to a shortage of food there now. And of course, thousands upon thousands are dying to this day, and millions are suffering at the hands of an oppressor. People have to learn about what happened, and, in so doing, let us be unambiguous that we stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine today as they remember this terrible chapter in their past, as they experience again the suffering of 90 years ago, whilst they battle for their future.
