European Parliament recognises Russia as a 'state sponsor of terrorism', in what is a symbolic political step with no legal consequences
Kiev has been calling on the international community to declare Russia a"terrorist state" over its military operation against the country.
"The deliberate attacks and atrocities carried out by the Russian Federation against the civilian population of Ukraine, the destruction of civilian infrastructure and other serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law amount to acts of terror," a resolution approved by EU lawmakers said.
The European Union — unlike the United States — does not have a legal framework to designate countries as a "state sponsor of terrorism".
