KYIV, Nov 21 – Russia's withdrawal from the grain deal is reminiscent of the events that took place in Ukraine in the 1930s during the Holodomor, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said during a special event at the Kyiv Security Forum, founded by the Arseniy Yatsenyuk Open Ukraine Foundation.

"I think all of us look back at that time period and Stalin's brutal actions, when millions of Ukrainians died. This is something never to be repeated," she emphasized.
