Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to declare Russia a terrorist State.

Petition reason

We believe acts of terrorism by the Russian government, carried out by its armed forces & special services, have increased over the past decade & must be acknowledged. In 2014 Russia invaded Ukraine, annexed Crimea & instigated a war in Donbas. Flight MH17 was shot down with Russian equipment killing all 298 civilians aboard. On 24/2/22 Russia invaded Ukraine & this has resulted in more than 4,670 civilian casualties, including more than 320 children, and the destruction of housing & hospitals.
