RFE: Ukraine's Poroshenko Calls On Russia To 'Repent' For Holodomor
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has called on Russia to recognize the famine that killed millions of people in Ukraine under Soviet dictator Josef Stalin as genocide, "or at least repent for it."
Poroshenko made the call at an event in central Kyiv on November 25, the official Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holodomor.
He also said that "the time has come" for Ukraine to adopt legislation against denying the genocide.
"Not recognizing the Holodomor is as immoral as denying the Holocaust," the president said.
Ukraine and about a dozen other countries have recognized the famine as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people.
