German MPs to recognise Stalin famine in Ukraine as ‘genocide’

BERLIN, 26 November 2022, (TON): according to a draft text seen by AFP "German MPs are set to approve a resolution declaring as genocide the 1930s starvation of millions in Ukraine under Joseph Stalin, adopting language used by Kyiv."
The joint text by deputies from Germany’s centre-left-led coalition and the opposition conservatives is intended as a warning to Russia as Ukraine faces a potential hunger crisis this winter due to Moscow’s invasion.
Lawmakers plan to vote on the resolution next week, following Ukraine’s memorial day for the famine, which falls each year on the last Saturday in November.
