European Parliament declares Russia a state sponsor of terrorism

The European Parliament on Wednesday designated Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, arguing that its military strikes on Ukrainian civilian targets such as energy infrastructure, hospitals, schools and shelters violated international law.

I can see state sponsor of war crimes.

But terrorism? Why? What does that even mean anymore?

It is interesting to know those 58 who have been "against":
In their heads, probably, this means:
"Moscow is not a sponsor. Other countries are sponsors, and they are its enemies".
"Moscow is better to win this war against Ukraine"..!....

Ok, that I could see. But the article implies that the EU's reasoning is the targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure during a war (war crimes). It makes no mention of shooting down airliners or poisoning political enemies, but maybe the article just left those parts out?

It doesn't quite seem to fit. t's not really sponsoring terrorist acts, as much as waging war.

Some countries (like the US) have restrictions and sanctions tied to this designation. The EU as a whole does not, so this is largely symbolic (per the article). However, I've seen a couple of references to using this designation as a basis for using the proceeds of seized assets for rebuilding in Ukraine.

Personally, I think we need to find a way to rachet down tensions and offer Russia a way to save face and make a graceful exit. imposing sanctions to increase pressure for this makes sense. Symbolic gestures for the purpose of giving Russia the middle finger don't.

Who knows? When Putin calls the Ukrainians 'Nazis' and 'terrorists', I guess he's just getting payback in kind.
