Zelensky: Russia fired most of its missiles at Ukraine, must be recognized as state sponsor of terrorism

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in a video address, Ukrinform reports.

"Russia has already fired most of its missile arsenal across Ukraine. Of course, they still have missiles. Of course, they can still continue the missile terror against our people," he said.

He stressed that what has already been done by the Russian invaders in Ukraine is a sufficient argument for the world to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and the Russian army as a terrorist organization.

Zelensky promised to insist on this in his talks with international partners, adding that there is simply no alternative to such recognition.

"The Russian state has become a terrorist and it is not ashamed of that. And if it is not ashamed, then it was done consciously, and therefore, there should be maximum responsibility," Zelensky said.

On February 24, Russian troops launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. They have been destroying infrastructure and residential areas of Ukrainian cities, towns and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launchers and ballistic missiles.
