“Before the concert, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Hungary, Liubov Nepop and the Head of the Ukrainian Culture Society in Hungary, Yaroslava Khortiani, addressed the guests.

In her speech, L. Nepop thanked Hungary for being one of the first in 2003 to recognize Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people, and Y. Khortiani, thanks to her initiative and active efforts of the Ukrainian community, this resolution was approved by the Hungarian State Assembly. The ambassador also drew attention to the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, which aims to destroy the national consciousness of Ukraine and the desire to deprive it of its own future as it was during Holodomor”, – the message informed.

On September 1, the action “Let’s light a candle of memory!” began at the National Museum “Holodomor Victims’ Memorial”.
