On Nov. 26, amid Russia's war, Ukraine commemorated the victims of another tragedy: Holodomor, a man-made famine that killed millions of Ukrainians in 1932-1933.
Holodomor was imposed on Ukrainians, primarily Ukrainian villagers, by the Moscow-based Soviet authorities led by dictator Joseph Stalin. Ukraine has been fighting to get Holodomor recognized globally as an act of genocide against Ukrainians.
"Ukraine has gone through one genocide," President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his address on Nov. 26.

According to the Donbas Frontliner reporting project, two bodies of civilians were exhumed in the yard of a house where a unit of the Russian occupation forces lived in the village Lvivski Otruby in the liberated area of Kherson Oblast.
Donbas Frontliner reported that the victims were Serhiy Novosad, 49, and his adoptive mother, Lyubov Novosad, 78. According to the report, Serhiy was killed with a shot from a machine gun, point blank, the barrel to his mouth. Lyubov was killed with a single shot in the head.
Further details of their execution are unknown.
The bodies of the two victims were reportedly found by the son of Serhiy (also named Serhiy Novosad). Right after the liberation of Kherson, Serhiy, who lives in Kyiv, drove back to his native village to look for his family.

US Ambassador for Global Criminal Justice Van Schaak said Russia "inevitably responds (to accusations of war crimes) with propaganda, denial, mis- and disinformation."
Whereas "Ukrainian authorities have generally acknowledged abuses and have denounced them and have pledged to investigate them," Van Schaak said at a briefing on Nov. 21, according to a State Department press release.
Van Schaak also said that "when we’re looking at the sheer scale of criminality exhibited by Russian forces, it’s enormous compared to the allegations that we have seen against Ukrainian forces."

⚡️NBC: Some US and Western officials think neither side can win Ukraine-Russia war.

The officials also hope any slowdown in fighting this winter could be an opportunity for diplomacy between the two sides, NBC reports, citing unnamed officials familiar with the matter.
