Why the US does not recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism: Mike Carpenter

No one in the Biden administration doubts that what Russia is doing is aimed at sowing fear in Ukraine using the most brutal and horrific methods.

Russia is trying to turn off the electricity and heating this winter. And it has already been proven that Russian forces were involved in various war crimes during those nine-plus months. There is no doubt about these facts.

This was stated by US Ambassador to the OSCE Mike Carpenter during an online briefing.

Regarding the reluctance of the United States to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, the diplomat recalled that the Biden Administration had already emphasized that, unlike other European states, the United States has very specific domestic legislation regarding state sponsors of terrorism.

«And we believe that the use of this legislation could limit the provision of aid to the occupied territories of Ukraine. Furthermore, we do not believe that being recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism under this very technical narrow definition that is contained in our domestic legislation will necessarily further our goals, in particular, to hold Russia accountable. Because that would not necessarily give us any additional authority to implement sanctions that are currently available to the Biden Administration,» Mike Carpenter said.

Therefore, according to Carpenter, the US will increase sanctions pressure on Russia, continue to expand export controls to make it impossible to circumvent the sanctions already in place, and provide Ukraine with all the necessary means to defend itself against this barbaric invasion.
