The US Senate unanimously passed a resolution calling on the State Department to declare Russia a sponsor of terrorism because of the war in Ukraine, Georgia, Syria and Chechnya.



The New York Times writes about it.

The resolution is advisory. With the resolution's passage, the John Biden administration will be under pressure to list Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.

The exact resolution was submitted to the US Congress - the lower house of the US Parliament.

Now the list of countries sponsoring terrorism includes Cuba, North Korea, Iran, and Syria.

In May, the Verkhovna Rada sent an official appeal to both houses of the US Congress requesting to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.
