The Polish Senate adopted a resolution recognizing the ruling regime in Russia as terrorist. The senators did so unanimously and condemned the war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine. The statement is available on the website of the Senate.
It states that the Russian military is terrorizing residents of Ukrainian cities and bombing civilian facilities, and Russian President Vladimir Putin and his subordinates "returned to the cruel practices of the Stalinist and Nazi regimes."
“Bandits in Russian uniforms torture and kill prisoners of war and civilians in the occupied territories. They kidnap Ukrainian children, deport, resettle and send Ukrainian citizens to the Russian periphery,” the resolution says.
The senators emphasize in the document that "Russia must be defeated and deprived of the opportunity to endanger its neighbors."
On October 13, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) recognized the ruling regime in Russia as a terrorist one, and the country's presence in the UN Security Council as illegal.
