"Never say never," RIA Novosti quotes Blinken's answer to a question from senators about whether the State Department plans to recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism during a hearing in the US Congress.
Earlier, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, against the backdrop of Kiev's murder of a number of Russian citizens, as well as statements about "readiness to kill Russians around the world," asked why UN Secretary General António Guterres and international organizations ignore Ukraine's open incitement to terrorism.
Prior to this, the press secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, stressed that an attempt to attack the Kremlin by Kiev actually equates Ukraine with state sponsors of terrorism.
