Senators are urging to take such a step for the actions of the Russian Federation in Chechnya, Georgia, Syria and Ukraine, which led to "the death of innumerable numbers of innocent men, women and children," reports The New York Times. A similar event was approved in the House of Representatives, where Nancy Pelosi speaker is expected to be a decisive supporter of his adoption.
"The armed forces of the Russian Federation have made numerous mass executions of innocent civilians and tried to hide their crimes with mass burials throughout Ukraine," the Senate resolution reads. The right to appoint the state with a sponsor of terrorism belongs to the State Department. Cuba, North Korea, Iran and Syria are now included in the list of such countries.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly urged the world community to recognize Russia with sponsor of terrorism - against the backdrop of countless war crimes of the Russian Federation, in particular, the killings of civilians and rocket strikes on civil infrastructure of Ukrainian cities. On May 3, the Verkhovna Rada appealed to the House of Representatives and the US Congress Senate.
