Equality before the law should not be undermined by a woke Lord Chief Justice and her sentencing council.

By firing over 70 drones at Ukraine overnight on the eve of Holodomor genocide Remembrance Day, Moscow indirectly takes responsibility for this heinous past crime of starving millions of Ukrainians to death. For them, it was about killing Ukrainians then and it is now. The difference between 1932–1933 and now is that back then we were practically defenseless against the totalitarian evil that took away all of our food and cordoned off starving villages, preventing people from seeking rescue in other regions. Today, we have our own state, our own army, our own air defense, and our own memory. We will never forgive and never forget what the Kremlin has done to our people. Moscow takes pride in killing Ukrainians. But they also show how scared they are of the fact that we are stronger than them. The USSR, and later Russia, made every attempt to conceal and deny the crime of the Holodomor genocide. They failed. 28 states and three international organizations have recognized it as genocide against Ukrainians, and this number has more than doubled in 2022–2023. I am grateful to each and every of them and call on others to follow suit. We will continue our work to expand global recognition of the Holodomor. Evil must and will be defeated and held accountable.
