President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called on the United States to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. According to the President, the terrorist attack in Olenivka fully deserved this status..
“The formal legal recognition of Russia as a terrorist state, in particular recognition from the United States Department of State, is needed not as a political gesture, but as an effective defense of the free world,” he stressed during an evening address..
This will automatically make it harder for a terrorist state to exist and sever political and business ties that Russia might otherwise be able to maintain..
“It will still have to be done - the only question is time and in the format of decision-making. And the sooner this is done, the less evil Russia will have time to do,” he added..
