The EU parliament declared Russia a "state sponsor of terrorism" over its invasion of Ukraine. It said the vote would help bring Putin closer to facing an international tribunal. The step is a mostly-symbolic gesture, prompted by evidence of war crimes in the nine-month-old invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces. It said in a statement before the vote that the move would aid efforts for Putin to face a war crimes trial. "By declaring Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, MEPs want to prepare the ground for Putin and his government to be held accountable for these crimes before an international tribunal."
