Polish lawmakers have voted on a resolution declaring Russia
a terrorist state over its war in Ukraine.
The resolution, which took place on Wednesday, passed with
85 votes, adding that it strongly condemns Russian aggression.
Recall the Russian Federation, under Vladimir Putin, had
invaded Ukraine on February 14 this year, leading to a raging war that has
claimed hundreds of lives and global economic impact.
Early this month, Putin had also announced annexation of
four regions of Ukraine into Russia. An act that many world leaders have
condemned.
However, Polish lawmakers have called on all countries that
support peace, democracy and human rights to recognize the authorities of the
Russian Federation as a terrorist regime.
The lawmakers, while passing the resolution, outlined
accounts of torture, forced deportations, murder of civilians and intentional
strikes on civilian locations to back their calls to characterize Russia as a
state sponsor of terrorism.
“We know all these acts of state terrorism well from the
history books,” a statement attached to the resolution said.
