US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said his department would not rule out designating Russia as a "state sponsor of terrorism because of the atrocities it is committing in Ukraine."
According to "CNN" news channel, the statement came during an interrogation at a hearing of the US Senate Appropriations Committee on China on Tuesday, explaining that Senator Lindsey Graham asked Blinken if he had initiated the question about that.
The channel indicated that Blinken had, later in the hearing, highlighted the sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia.
On May 12, Blinken confirmed that his country pledged to do its best to compensate for the lack of weapons in Ukraine if Kyiv informed Washington of that.
The official added the West did not provide the Ukrainian armed forces with enough armored vehicles to launch a counterattack and noted that work is taking place daily with Ukraine and with a coalition of countries to ensure that the Kyiv regime receives the necessary and sufficient support, the American Al-Alhurra channel reported.
