Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
H.Res. 915 is a resolution expressing the House of Representatives' formal recognition that the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, known as the Holodomor, constitutes genocide. The resolution, introduced by representatives from both parties, states that Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin deliberately engineered the famine by sealing Ukraine's borders, confiscating grain harvests, and forcing collectivization of farmland, resulting in the deaths of nearly a quarter of Ukraine's rural population. The measure condemns the Soviet Union's systematic human rights violations and calls for increased public awareness of this historical tragedy, which the Soviet government denied for decades. The resolution also draws connections to current events by condemning Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine under Vladimir Putin and expressing support for Ukrainian sovereignty and a lasting peace. No funding or specific timeline is involved, as this is a nonbinding resolution expressing the legislative body's position rather than creating new law or appropriating resources.
