Hunger cannot be a weapon of war, I emphasized at the 1st #GrainFromUkraine summit - an initiative of President @ZelenskyyUa.
Yet millions of people around the world suffer severely from #Russia’s aggression against #Ukraine that deepens global food insecurity & hunger.

Ukraine has a memory of a deadly man-made Great Famine #Holodomor that took the lives of millions. Created by Stalin’s policies, the totalitarian system sought to erase the memory of the famine along with its victims. Today we commemorate the people who died 90 years ago.
In the midst of defending its freedom, sovereignty & independence #Ukraine continues to reach out to most vulnerable in Africa & Asia to make sure they do not pay the price of #Russia’s war. #Estonia supports President @ZelenskyyUa’s #GrainFromUkraine initiative with 50 000 euros
But we know the most effective way to reduce food insecurity and hunger is to make sure that the #Russia’s aggression against #Ukraine, an independent @UN member state, ends and its perpetrators are brought to justice.

#Memorial is one of the oldest independent organizations involved in defending human rights in Russia and documenting Stalinist crimes across the whole former Soviet area.
We greatly appreciate the dedication and determination of #Memorial staff to commemorate the victims of Soviet crimes perpetrated against the Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian nations, as well as against millions of Russians, Ukrainians and people of other nationalities.
