"Ukraine is grateful to the U.S. for solidarity in recognizing the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-1933 as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people caused by the Soviet regime," reads the report.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the United States Senate on October 4 unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution that became the first ever legal act of the United States Congress, where the Holodomor of 1932-1933 was designated as genocide against the Ukrainian people.

The resolution also condemns "the systematic violations of human rights, including the freedom of self-determination and freedom of speech, of the Ukrainian people by the Soviet government."
