Tarasyuk: Russia interferes into Ukraine’s internal affairs
Foreign Minister of Ukraine Borys Tarasyuk is surprised by Russia’s declaration on oppression of the Russian language in Ukraine and by Russia’s unwillingness to recognize Holodomor in Ukraine as genocide against the people. Tarasyuk told in an interview to “Izvestia v Ukraine” newspaper.

“We are surprised by Russia’s unwillingness to see obvious things. A lot of Ukrainian families suffered from Holodomor. Seven people died of starvation in my father’s house. I raised this question at the 61st UN session and got support from representatives of 68 countries,” Tarasyuk said.

“I am also surprised by ‘language’ declarations. And what is more astonishing is that it is official position of the Russia’s Foreign Ministry. It is barefaced interference into Ukraine’s internal affairs,” Tarasyuk stated.
