Russian Federation should be recognized as a terrorist state.
The behaviour of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, constant shelling of civilian targets, in parts irreversible destruction of public infrastructure, inhumane treatment and intentional killing of Ukrainian citizens, including public officials, do not fall under the definition of warfare.
These are activities that are typical of terrorist organizations. Russia cannot even be called a "state sponsor of terrorism", as Iran or Libya was/is. Russia itself, through its security forces, commits terrorist activities.
In this context, the Ukrainian President called on the international community to recognize the Russian Federation as a terrorist state and governments across Europe should heed this call and not only adopt the necessary declarations, but also initiate similar steps at an international level, meaning the EU, NATO, Council of Europe and the United Nations.
