US Senate Republican Leader McConnell Calls On President Biden To Name Russia An Official State Sponsor Of Terrorism

 

Daily Mail: GOP leader McConnell calls on Biden to name Russia a state sponsor of terrorism and says Ukraine needs more aid ‘right now’ amid GOP rebellion over a new $40 billion assistance package 

* The Senate Minority Leader led a delegation of Republican colleagues to Kyiv 

* They met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and reaffirmed support 

* It comes after a bipartisan push to fast track $40 billion in more Ukraine aid was stalled by Kentucky GOP Senator Rand Paul, delaying the vote to this week 

* Also last week, bipartisan senators introduced a resolution demanding that the State Department designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism 

* If designated it would join Cuba, Syria, Iran and North Korea on the list 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday demanded that President Joe Biden designate the Russian Federation as an official state sponsor of terrorism over its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. 

The label places miscellaneous financial and foreign aid restrictions on a country and allows alleged victims of terrorism that its government is accused of sponsoring to sue for civil damages.

WNU Editor: Naming Russia a state sponsor of terrorism will set into motion the US breaking all ties with Russia. This means the closure of US consulates and the embassy in Moscow, as well as the recall of its ambassador. The US will also order all Russian diplomats out of the country.
