The European Parliament has declared Russia a state sponsor of terrorism because of Moscow’s strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine. The declaration is symbolic but it does call for new sanctions and further isolation of Russia.
The Parliament is therefore urging the EU and its member states to “put in place the proper legal framework and consider adding Russia to such a list.”
In Kyiv, the latest onslaught, which started at lunchtime, further degraded water and power supplies in a city that has already seen its energy capacity reduced by half since Russia on October 10 started launching large-scale missile and drone attacks zeroing in on the country’s power grid.The strikes on Kyiv were part of a nationwide Russian attack with local administrations reporting blasts and explosions in Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia and Zaporizhzhia.
Zelenskyy noted, too, that Russian missiles hit a high-rise building and another medical facility in Kupyansk, killing two people and injuring a third. “The enemy has once again decided to try to achieve with terror and murder what he wasn’t able to achieve for 9 months and won’t be able to achieve. Instead, he will only be held to account for all the evil he brought to our country.”
