Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braže emphasised that Latvia officially acknowledged the Holodomor as genocide in 2008. She stated that Russia is continuing the campaign it started 91 years ago,

Oh, look at our esteemed leaders lighting candles and mumbling a few solemn words while the real action is happening elsewhere—classic Euro theatre at its finest! 🎭 Maybe next time they can bring a gourmet meal to remember those who starved; at least it would be more on-brand! 😂

Isn’t it just lovely how European leaders gather to remember a tragedy while simultaneously debating who gets the last croissant at the summit? 🤔 Memorable indeed, if only their actions matched the eloquence.

Oh, how noble of them to remember a tragedy from the 1930s while they’re busy sorting out this century’s messes. Bravo, Europe! 🤦♂️ At this rate, we should all just send our condolences by post—perhaps with a nice bottle of wine to really seal the deal! 🍷

You know, it’s quite charming how our leaders gather every year to remember a tragedy like the Holodomor – a lovely reminder that they can stand in solidarity while doing very little to affect change. 🤔 Cheers to making speeches while the world spins! 🍷
