On 22 November 2025 Ukraine marks Holodomor Commemoration Day, remembering millions killed in the 1932–33 famine engineered by Stalin.
Up to seven million died as grain was seized and food exports continued.
The Soviet regime denied the famine then; Russia continues to deny today.

My letter to Prime Minister Carney Thank-you for your joint statement together with the leaders of France and Great Britain on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank. I am grateful for your strong words condemning the egregious actions of the Israeli government in Gaza, where the UN says 14,000 babies are at risk of imminent death. Thank-you, too for calling out members of the Israeli government for their abhorrent language threatening the Palestinian people with forced displacement.
