The U.S. state of Wyoming has officially recognized the Holodomor of 1932–1933 as genocide against the Ukrainian people and declared November as a month of remembrance, according to Ukraine's Ambassador to the U.S., Oksana Markarova.
In her post, Markarova expressed gratitude to the Governor of the state, Mark Gordon, for standing in solidarity with Ukraine and the Ukrainian community across all states for their active campaign to honor the memory of the victims of the Holodomor through educational events.
A memorial ceremony will take place in Washington on November 25 near the Memorial to the Victims of the Holodomor. In total, 32 states in the U.S. have recognized the Holodomor as the genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Recognition of the Holodomor as genocide in the U.S.
On November 7, 2017, a resolution project recognizing the Holodomor as genocide against the Ukrainian people was introduced in the U.S. Congress on the occasion of its 85th anniversary. Later, the U.S. Senate Committee approved the resolution, condemning the systematic human rights violations, including the right to self-determination and freedom of speech, committed by the Soviet government against the Ukrainian people.
Also, in early November 2023, three more states in the U.S. ((Washington, Maryland, and Arizona) recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide against the Ukrainian people.
