Kuleba told what will happen to Russia if it is recognized as a sponsor of terrorism

Recognizing Russia as a sponsor of terrorism will impose additional sanctions on it, deepen the international isolation of the Russian regime and completely destroy the remnants of Russia’s reputation for many decades.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, emphasized that it is necessary to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism as soon as possible, since the Russians have committed all the crimes listed in the Rome Statute since February 24.

Kuleba wrote about this in a column for RBC-Ukraine.

«Terrorism is really the second name of modern Russia, therefore recognizing it as a state sponsor of terrorism will only be a legal fixation of reality. In practice, this will mean the introduction of additional sanctions both from the US and from other countries, and even deeper international isolation of the Russian regime and the complete destruction of the remnants of Russia’s reputation for many decades,» Kuleba writes.

According to the minister, for many years Russia has used the «fight against terrorism» for manipulations and reasons for interaction with other countries. In this way, the Russian Federation whitewashed its reputation in Europe and the USA after the attack on Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014.
