У Вашингтоні обговорили влаштовану Росією гуманітарну катастрофу в Олешках

This was reported to Ukrinform by the Ukrainian Embassy in the United States.

Opening the event, the Chargé d 'Affaires of Ukraine to the United States, Denys Senik, said that the situation in Oleshky resembles the Holodomor of 1932–1933 — the genocide of the Ukrainian people committed by the Soviet regime.

"Today, Russia is again using hunger, destruction and deprivation of humanitarian aid as a weapon against our people. These are war crimes that require international attention and concrete actions," the diplomat stressed.

The event was attended by diplomats, journalists, representatives of the US Department of State, human rights organizations and think tanks.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate, head of the Center for Civil Liberties Oleksandra Matviychuk and American journalist, writer and documentary filmmaker Zarina Zabrisky also spoke about the situation in Oleshky and the surrounding villages.
