“During a video call with EU High Representative Josep Borrell, I called on the EU to recognize Russia as a terrorist state. After all, its army systematically commits terrorist acts against the civilian population. Missile attacks on the center of Vinnytsia, universities in Mykolaiv, a shopping center in Kremenchuk, and the railway station in Kramatorsk are all terrorism, which should receive an appropriate international definition,” he said.
