The S&Ds will today support the resolution recognising Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and as a state which uses means of terrorism.
Pedro Marques, the S&D vice-president, said:
“Since Russia launched its fully-fledged war against Ukraine, we have condemned it in the strongest terms, advocated for strong EU sanctions to be imposed on Russia and called to fight impunity by prosecuting Russia for its war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression.
