Question

Ukranian Nazi allies fled to the U.K., Canada and the U.S. where they started that Holodomor bullshit. They neglect the fact that the whole Northern hemisphere suffered a famine then and in the U.S., it was called the Dust Bowl Days. The also neglect to say that more Russians died than Ukranians.

Answer 1

False, Although the famine happened to be a large historical event recognized by many countries and scholars, it was seen as man-made but also targeted, which affected Ukrainians through 1932–1933. Other parts like Russia experienced the famine, Ukraine took the fall most exponentially due to policies like travel restrictions and grain requisitions. It's hard to compare Holodomor to the Dust Bowl because of the environmental effects that it had. Holodomor although happened to result largely from these political decisions.

Answer 2

Some Ukrainians who worked with Nazis during World War II did move to the U.K., Canada, and the U.S. afterward. For example, members of the Galicia Division, a Ukrainian unit tied to the Nazis, settled in these countries. However, there’s no clear proof they started the Holodomor story. The Holodomor was a real famine in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, caused by Soviet policies like forced grain collection. It killed 3.5 to 5 million Ukrainians. Ukrainian communities in the West helped spread awareness, but linking this to Nazi allies is not supported by evidence.

The claim says the Holodomor was part of a global famine, like the U.S. Dust Bowl, but this isn’t accurate. The Dust Bowl in the 1930s caused hardship in America with drought and dust storms, but it didn’t lead to mass starvation like the Holodomor. The Holodomor was worse in Ukraine because of deliberate Soviet actions. Other famines happened in places like Kazakhstan, but Ukraine’s suffering was unique. Comparing it to the Dust Bowl downplays its severity and cause.

The claim also states more Russians died than Ukrainians, but this is wrong. Estimates show 3.5 to 5 million Ukrainians died in the Holodomor, while about 2 million died in Russian regions. The broader Soviet famine killed 5 to 8 million across the USSR, but Ukraine was hit hardest. Some debate whether the Holodomor was genocide, with Russia denying it targeted Ukrainians. However, the evidence shows it was a man-made disaster with a huge toll on Ukraine.

Answer 3

While there were famines across much of the Northern Hemisphere, Ukraine was especially effected due to policies enforced by Nazi forces. The Holodomor was also recognized before Ukrainian immigration to the US in the 1930's and 1940's. It's also important to note that many deaths went unregistered, so official casualty numbers can't be taken at face value, so making the claim that more Russians died than Ukrainians is not verifiably accurate

Answer 4

There is no credible evidence that “Ukrainian Nazi allies” have fled to the U.K., Canada, or the U.S. during the current Russia–Ukraine war. On the contrary, Russian propaganda has repeatedly been debunked. As FactCheck.org explains, while small extremist cells do exist, Moscow “gives the altogether minor Ukrainian right-wing extremist groups a disproportionate political relevance as an allegedly dominant phenomenon.” Furthermore, data from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees report that, as of April 17, 2025, roughly 6.36 million people fleeing Ukraine have been recorded in Europe, and there are no reputable reports of a mass movement of extremist fighters into the U.K., Canada, or the U.S. Therefore, the claim is not only unverifiable but likely false.
