The United States seeks an alternative to recognizing the Russian Federation as a sponsoring state of terrorism

The United States repeated once again that it did not intend to recognize Russia as a sponsoring state of terrorism. However, the authorities are currently working to find an alternative solution.

“What we are doing is working with Congress right now to see if there is another avenue that could be taken through the use of the terrorist sponsor designation,” said US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

He said that in practice the United States applies sanctions that would be if the Russian Federation was recognized as a sponsor state of terrorism. However, the actual determination of this status could have unintended consequences.
