A bipartisan pair of senators has called on the Biden administration to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, saying they would push Congress to pass a bill issuing the designation “whether or not” it had President Biden’s support, CNN wrote.
Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said that the designation should be made either by the President or Congress, with both of them saying Biden must intensify pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin and continue aiding Ukraine amid the ongoing invasion.
