Zelensky calls for Russia to be recognized as "terrorist state"
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the international community to officially recognize Russia as a terrorist state after missiles struck the city of Vinnytsia. "Russia has shown its attitude to international law, to Europe, and to the entire civilized world," he said.
"It is absolutely necessary to implement as soon as possible such restrictions against Russian energy exports, which will not allow terrorists to cover their costs at the expense of the international community."
