“Putin is a terrorist, and one of the most disruptive forces on the planet is Putin’s Russia”

U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal introduced a Senate resolution affirming that the United States Senate views the actions of the government of the Russian Federation, at the direction of President Vladimir Putin, as sponsoring acts of terrorism.
“Putin’s Russia deserves this designation. We should be all-in on making sure that Putin’s Russia is marginalized as long as they engage in this behavior,” said Graham.
“Russia’s horrific inhumanity — including barbaric atrocities and war crimes — have richly earned its designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. I am proud to be leading this resolution with Senator Graham, applying stiffer sanctions and recognizing Russia as a true pariah among nations,” Blumenthal added.
