Russia is the world’s No.1 terrorist state. The army serving the Putin regime constantly resorts to outright acts of terror targeting the civilian population of Ukraine, killing children. The international community must focus its efforts on providing military and financial assistance to Ukraine to stop Vladimir Putin’s criminal regime in its tracks.
