A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the 93rd anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, known as the "Holodomor", should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine, and that Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine once again threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people, while exacerbating the problems of global hunger.

This Senate resolution marks the 93rd anniversary of the Holodomor, the 1932-1933 famine in Ukraine under the Soviet government. It condemns Russia's war in Ukraine and Vladimir Putin's use of hunger as a weapon, which it states has raised global food prices. It calls on Russia to stop attacks on Ukrainian civilians, withdraw all troops from Ukraine, and respect Ukraine's sovereignty. It also recognizes a 1988 federal commission's finding that Joseph Stalin and those around him committed genocide against Ukrainians, and encourages sharing information about the famine. The resolution states the Senate's position and does not create new laws or spending.
