MOSCOW, December 1. /TASS/. The Russian Foreign Ministry denounced on Thursday a Bundestag resolution classifying the mass starvation in the Ukrainian Soviet Republic in 1932-1933 as genocide as yet another attempt to justify the campaign to demonize Russia being inculcated in Ukraine.

"This is yet another attempt to justify and prop up the Western-sponsored campaign being inculcated in Ukraine to demonize Russia and to pit ethnic Ukrainians against the Russians and other ethnicities in Russia and across the former USSR," the Ministry said in a statement.

The German parliament drew a veil over the fact that the famine affected not only Ukraine, but the entire Soviet Union at that time, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. According to it, "Having forgotten that, German lawmakers from the ruling coalition and the CDU/CSU opposition group voted to prop up a political and ideological myth being nourished by the Ukrainian regime at the instigation of ultra-nationalist, Nazi and Russophobic forces".
