Call to Designate Russia as State Sponsor of Terrorism

This House of Representatives resolution urges the U.S. Secretary of State to officially designate the Russian Federation as a state sponsor of terrorism. Such a designation would impose additional sanctions and restrictions, potentially impacting international relations and security, as well as the availability of certain goods and services for U.S. citizens linked to Russia.
Key points
The resolution cites allegations that Russia promotes international terrorism, including attacks on civilians in Chechnya, Syria, and Ukraine.
It highlights the actions of mercenary groups like the Wagner Group as tools of Russian foreign policy, contributing to instability and violence.
Designating Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism would trigger further sanctions, potentially affecting trade and travel, though the direct impact on daily U.S. citizens' lives would be indirect.
