If approved by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, Russia will be the 5th terrorist country on the State Department’s list, along with Cuba, North Korea, Iran, and Syria.
“There is no doubt that Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, is a state sponsor of terrorism. The act he committed in issuing the order to attack Ukraine was an act of terrorism. He is a war criminal, and he is responsible for every crime committed in his name, every act of destruction, every act of murder, and everything that was committed in Ukraine, on his responsibility. He is a war criminal. And we need to send a strong message to the world – how we feel about the horrific things that he is doing,” said James Risch.
The members of the committee also took into account the corresponding appeal to the United States by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
