A Senate committee resolution urges the administration to do so, but in fact the Russian Federation has not yet been recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism.

On June 23, the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations supported a resolution recognizing Russia as the State Sponsor of Terrorism. This was reported by the Voice of America.

According to Republican Senator Chris Koons, the final decision on recognizing the Russian Federation as a state that sponsors terrorist activities in connection with illegal invasion of Ukraine’s territory should be made by the Joe Biden administration.

He noted that the committee’s resolution urges the administration to do so, but in fact Russia has not yet been recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism.

“There is no doubt that Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, is a state sponsor of terrorism. What he did, giving the order to go to Ukraine, was a terrorist act. He was a war criminal, and he was responsible for every crime. did it on his behalf, “Idaho Republican Senator James Risch said.

According to him, in the general vote in the Senate, the resolution will “receive a significant number of votes.”

The State Department lists the countries sponsoring terrorism stating that, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, have repeatedly supported terrorist activities around the world.

Penalties imposed on state sponsors of terrorism include restrictions on receiving U.S. aid, bans on the export and sale of defense products, controls on the export of dual goods, and various financial restrictions and other restrictions.

The list of such countries includes Cuba, North Korea, Iran and Syria.

It was previously reported that the U.S. Senate could consider a resolution recognizing Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. In the case of a positive decision, it will be submitted for voting in the House of Representatives of the US Congress.

Earlier, Zelensky asked the United States to recognize Russia as a sponsor of terrorism.
