Following missile strike on Odesa, Kuleba says Russia must be recognized sponsor of terrorism

Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba has called for recognizing Russia as a sponsor of terrorism after today’s missile strikes on Odesa.

The top diplomat stated this on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

"The only aim of Russian missile strikes on Odesa is terror. Russia must be designated a state sponsor of terrorism and treated accordingly. No business, no contacts, no cultural projects. We need a wall between civilization and barbarians striking peaceful cities with missiles," the minister said.
