Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky used his daily address on Thursday morning (March 17) to call on the world to officially recognise Russia as a terrorist state.
Speaking on day 21 of the invasion of his country, he said: "Russia's war crimes do not stop. The Russian economy is still able to maintain their military machine. That is why new packages of sanctions against Russia are needed. The world must finally officially recognise that Russia has become a terrorist state."
The president then reiterated his call for further help from other nations. "Most importantly, Ukraine needs to get more support," he added. "Even more than we get now. Air defence systems. Aircraft. Enough lethal weapons and ammunition to stop the Russian occupiers."
