Kuleba also thanked PACE for recognising Stalin’s Holodomor [artificial famine of the Ukrainian people – ed.] of 1932-1933 as an act of genocide in his post.

"It is also important that PACE encouraged all Council of Europe members and other parliaments to follow suit. This is a morally, historically, and politically right thing to do," Kuleba noted.

The decision was made with 73 votes "for" and one "against".
