The Kyiv Independent
Russia is a state supporter of terrorism as it both supports individuals and entities that have carried out terrorist activities and engages in such activities itself.
Indeed, Russia's military and mercenaries, supported by the state, are resorting to summary executions, torture, sexual violence, starvation, nuclear saber-rattling, and targeted missile and kamikaze drone attacks.
They target hospitals, schools, religious buildings, cultural sites, railway stations, residential homes, and critical civilian infrastructure to cut access to gas, electricity, food, water, and the Internet with the clear aim of terrorizing the Ukrainian population into submission.
