On the anniversary of the Holodomor, US President Joe Biden has reiterated his support for Ukraine and condemned Stalin's actions. He said that the USA would continue to help Ukraine defend its freedom and independence.
US President Joe Biden made the statement on the anniversary of the Holodomor and said that the states honor Ukraine's past and “stand with you in the present,” reports UNN.
The US President recalled that 91 years ago Joseph Stalin and the Soviet regime instigated the Holodomor, a violent and deliberate famine that killed millions of Ukrainians.
“We remember the men, women and children who died during the Holodomor. We also honor the survivors of the Holodomor and their descendants who, despite Stalin's efforts to suppress Ukraine's national identity, built a free, independent and democratic Ukraine,” Biden said.
On the anniversary of the Holodomor, the US President reaffirmed his commitment to support the Ukrainian people in their time of need.
“For almost three years, Russia has been waging a brutal war against the Ukrainian people, trying to wipe Ukraine off the map of the world. In this effort, russia has failed. Kiev is free, thanks in part to the United States and more than 50 other countries that have pledged to provide Ukraine with the aid it needs to defend itself. My message to the Ukrainian people on this day is clear: The United States honors your past and stands with you in the present. On this day, we reaffirm our commitment to support Ukraine's continued defense of its freedom, its pursuit of justice, and its path to the Euro-Atlantic future it has chosen for itself. The courage and strength of the Ukrainian people will prevail,” Biden summarized.
