"Holodomor was well-organised attempt to physically destroy Ukrainians, and we have to remember those terrible lessons of our history, when people were being exterminated by totalitarian regime and that crimes against humanity should not be repeated in the future," - Ambassador of Ukraine Natalia Galibarenko said in her address to the audience.

Ukrainian diplomats along with Ukrainians in London, representatives of the UK Parliament and local authorities laid the wreaths at the foot of the Holodomor Memorial at the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Transfiguration followed by a service of remembrance.

The participants of the event urged foreign countries to recognise the Holodomor as the genocide of the people of Ukraine, and honored memory of the deceased with a moment of silence.

At the Embassy on the day of tragic anniversary the State flag is at half-mast and memorial candles are lit up to commemorate victims of the artificially-created famines in Ukraine.
