Poland's Senate recognizes Russian government as terrorist regime

Poland's Senate on Wednesday voted for a resolution recognizing the Russian authorities as a terrorist regime.

That's according to Polskie Radio, Ukrinform reports.

All present Polish senators voted for the resolution.

"Ukraine today defends democracy and freedom. Russian invaders terrorize residents of Ukrainian cities by bombing civilian objects: kindergartens, schools, theaters, and housing estates. Bandits in Russian uniforms torture and kill prisoners of war and civilians in the occupied territories. Ukrainian children are kidnapped. In order to raise them in the Janissary regime. Ukrainian citizens are deported, relocated and sent to remote regions of Russia," the resolution reads.

The document also added, "We know all these acts of state terrorism well from the pages of history. The Europeans believed that they would never be threatened by genocide and war crimes. Meanwhile, Putin and his apparatus of violence have returned to the brutal practices of the Stalinist and Nazi regimes. Therefore, it is necessary to defeat Russia and deprive it of any opportunity to threaten its neighbors."

"The Senate of the Republic of Poland once again strongly condemns Russian aggression and calls on all countries that advocate peace, democracy and human rights to recognize the government of the Russian Federation as a terrorist regime," the resolution reads.

In addition, "the Senate of the Republic of Poland expresses its gratitude to all institutions and organizations that have undertaken to investigate and document the crimes committed against Ukrainian society, and calls on the international community to provide full support to the International Criminal Court, which is investigating these crimes."

In the resolution, the Senate thanked all Poles, the government and local administrations, non-governmental organizations and entrepreneurs for the help provided since February 24 to Ukrainians who were fleeing Russian bombs, mostly women and children.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on October 13 adopted a resolution declaring Russia a terrorist regime.
