The criminal case on committing genocide in Ukraine in 1932-1933 currently numbers 253 volumes, Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) Chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko has said.

He said this at an evening requiem dedicated to the day of remembrance for the victims of the Holodomor famine of 1932-1933, the SBU press service reported.

Nalyvaichenko said that the SBU had opened the criminal case in May 2009.

"The [Security] Service [of Ukraine] declassified all of the possible documents on the Holodomor. Each line, which is evidence of a crime committed against humanity, is currently available for all concerned people in Ukraine and abroad [to see]," he said.
