The Russian Embassy criticized the comparison of the “Holodomor” in Ukraine with the Northern Military District – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

According to diplomats, the United States is developing the false thesis that the leaders of the USSR allegedly deliberately “starved” millions of Ukrainian citizens.

“Such an interpretation of the events of the 1930s radically distorts history,” the Russian diplomatic mission stressed, adding that “failed harvests and large-scale food shortages then became a real humanitarian catastrophe for the Soviet Union.” and its consequences became a common problem. tragedy for Russians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs and many other peoples of a huge country.

At the same time, diplomats believe, Washington’s desire to link the events of the first half of the 20th century with the conduct of the SVO seems even more ridiculous.

“We consider this to be nothing more than a new attempt to demonize Russia. Attributing to it completely unrelated intentions to supposedly repress and even destroy the brotherly people of a neighboring state,” notes the Russian embassy on the Telegram channel.

As noted in the commentary, accusations that the Russian Federation is “ready to destroy” the agriculture of a neighboring country and “undermine global food security for its own benefit” have nothing in common with the truth.

The situation, diplomats note, is exactly the opposite: American and European corporations continue to buy and export cheap grain from Ukraine, earning huge amounts of money in the markets of developed countries. And the needy states receive pitiful crumbs

“Our attempts to help by sending free agricultural raw materials become the subject of economic and legal obstacles,” the diplomatic mission stated.

The real purpose of such statements is to “extort even more billions from taxpayers, which will then be spent on the construction of defense factories,” the Russian embassy concluded.

Let us remember that the day before, US President Joe Biden gave a speech in memory of the victims of the so-called Holodomor. During his speech he mentioned the Russian special operation in Ukraine and added that “the Russian Federation seeks to undermine food security.”
