December 9 marks the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of Genocide.

In Ukraine, this day is not only about remembering past atrocities — it also draws attention to the ongoing crimes committed by russia: the abduction of children, the torture and killing of civilians, and many more.

With this in mind, we present the documented actions of the russian federation🧵

The Holodomor was a series of artificial famines by the USSR in 1921–1923, 1932–1933, and 1946–1947. The most devastating (1932–1933) was a genocide of Ukrainians, taking millions of lives.
