Holodomor Day: Regina commemorates past and present Ukrainian genocide victims
“Gasoline and food disappeared,” she said. “You could buy 20 litres of gas, standing in line for six to 12 hours.”When Vasylieva left in March, a majority of people in cities were living in basements due to the surface being constantly under fire and most of the citizens were forced to drink drain water.
A few hospitals were left. she explained, however, most people needing care were not able to get there due to lack of safe transportation.“The city is under constant shelling and there is no single building that remains undamaged.” “People die not only from bombs, but also from diseases, hunger and cold,” said her interpreter. “There is a humanitarian disaster. What is it, if not genocide of the Ukrainian people in 2022?”
The ceremony closed with the lighting of a memorial candle that will remain lit throughout the week to represent unity with those marking the Holodomor genocide.
