Senator-Democrat Richard Blumental stated that this bill is "relevant as ever", referring to the murder of Russian troops of civilians and other military crimes committed by an aggressor state during a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Another author of the document, the Republican Lindsey Graham, noted that the inclusion of the Russian Federation in the list of terrorism states will allow lawsuits against Russia against Russia for its actions in Ukraine and impose rigid sanctions.
Meanwhile, a representative of the State Department of Ned Price announced at a briefing that the US Presidential Administration was discussing with legislators measures similar to those that will be introduced to Russia's economy in case of recognition by its state-existence of terrorism.
It should be reminded that at the end of July, the US Congress Senate unanimously approved a resolution calling for the United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to declare the Russian Federation by the state-sponsor of terrorism. Currently, countries such as Cuba, North Korea, Iran and Syria are in the relevant list. Earlier, journalists reported that US President Joe Biden did not support the ideas of Russia's recognition by a country that sponsored terrorism.
