Tauger's 2001 paper titled Natural Disaster and Human Actions in the Soviet Famine of 1931-1933, which outlines natural factors during the 1931-33 period, touching on late-NEP figures as well http://carlbeckpapers.pitt.edu/ojs/index.php/cbp/article/view/89/90

Aggresiom is more like threatning to take over countries and threatening to use force to get your ways
I don’t think boosting your army counts as aggression
A spacial map of the ukranian famine of 1932-33 by harvard. There's a lot of information and generally it helps debunk a lot of myths about the holodomor. the map shows, among other things, that there is no correlation between ethnicity and famine (some of the hardest hit areas had the largest Russian minority), raw procurement per capita was lower in areas with famine (although plan fulfillment was higher because the plan targets were lowered), and more collectivization was linked to lower famine rates
It would be counterproductive to the supposed motive of killing Ukrainians for the soviet government to ship them grain, and you’d have to be a bit delusional to look at the letters Stalin sent to his generals in Ukraine and think it’s all faked
