In tonight's segment of 'Understanding Genocide in Ukraine', we will discuss the Holodomor and examine a new report by international human rights law firm Global Rights Compliance about russia's latest actions to weaponize Ukrainian agriculture: globalrightscompliance.com/2023/11/16/new… x.com/MriyaReport/st…
This can be an emotional topic; here are resources we share every week to assist if you experience distress.
Here's last week's thread of resources:

@healyjforUC noted Julia Davis's posts of russian TV's standard approach to their actions: deny, deny, deny.
Remember russian TV saying this? ""All our hope is in the famine..."
After the fall of the Soviet Union, researchers had access to USSR records that made the anti-Ukrainian bias during Holodomor more evident, contrary to what they had expected to find. insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/ukrain…
