This is a resolution from the House of Representatives officially recognizing the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, called the Holodomor, as genocide. During those two years, millions of Ukrainians died from starvation that was deliberately caused by the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. The Soviet government sealed Ukraine's borders to prevent people from escaping or receiving international food aid, and forced Ukrainians to give up their land and crops to collective farms while confiscating the grain harvests, leaving people to starve. About a quarter of Ukraine's rural population either died or was forced into exile.

The resolution doesn't create any new laws or policies—it's essentially the House of Representatives making an official statement about what happened. It expresses sympathy for the victims and survivors, condemns the Soviet Union's actions as systematic human rights violations, and calls for more education about this historical tragedy. The resolution also connects this history to current events by condemning Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine and Vladimir Putin's denial that Ukraine exists as a sovereign nation. Overall, this is a symbolic gesture meant to honor the memory of those who died and to draw attention to how this tragedy should serve as a warning about the dangers of authoritarian repression.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, known as the Holodomor, is recognized as a genocide and should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine.
