- whoooooo123 4y ago3 to 5 million Ukrainians starved to death because the USSR deliberately cut off their food supplies in a targeted attempt to kill them.

To put it simply, the famine was primarily impacting Cossacks, which were throughout southern Russia at the time. You can look up the famines and see it’s not specifically targeted. Though I do grant you, collective farming was the issue and it did have an undue impact in Ukraine.
