Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal introduced a bill Wednesday that would designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.
: "Putin has crossed every line of civilized norms during the war in Ukraine and years before," Graham said.
“Ukrainians have been asking for this designation, and we are listening. This will be a game changer in how we deal with terrorists worldwide.” "What has been revealed in Ukraine’s success on the battlefield is not only its military prowess and Russia’s weakness, but also Putin’s reliance on brutal atrocities, genocide, and war crimes against the people of Ukraine," Blumenthal said, adding that the country should be "among the club of pariah nations.”
