In response to its condemnation of Russia as a sponsor of terrorism, the Kremlin has accused the European Parliament of “rampant Russophobia and hatred of Russia”. There is a “massive lack of professionalism” in the EU parliament, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Russian TV on Sunday, according to the Itar-Tass bureau. The parliamentarians are guided by emotions. The resolution is not legally binding and Moscow “does not take the condemnation to heart”.
A large majority of MEPs on Wednesday approved a resolution calling Russia a “state with terrorist assets”.
Further restrict diplomatic relations
So far, European law has not recognized a category or list for states that support terrorism. The EU parliament had also called for further restrictions on diplomatic relations with Russia. The resolution also calls for further punitive measures, such as an embargo on Russian diamonds.
