Ukraine wants the United Nations to brand Russia a terrorism sponsor amid bloody clashes between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government troops.
The Ukrainian ambassador to the UN told Fox News he plans to submit a draft resolution asking the UN General Assembly to formally label “Russia as a sponsor of terrorism."
Ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev gave no timetable for when he would present the resolution to the UN. He said government officials in Kiev are working on the text.
Sergeyev told Fox News the resolution will mirror the Ukrainian parliament’s declaration this week, designating the Moscow-backed separatists in East Ukraine as a terrorist group.
Kiev believes that by defining the separatists as terrorists it eliminates any notion that it would engage in peace talks with them.

I made no mistake when I said “Hugely Powerful Western World”. Western World is commanding £40T GDP. Situation changes every day, but as of latest Russian economic might is smaller than that of Mexico. Western world does not bow to Mexican illusions of greatness and we should not bow to the only imperialist power - Russia - now.
