Ukraine parl. officially declares pro-Russians as terrorists
[Iran Press TV] The Ukrainian parliament has officially declared the pro-Russian forces of eastern Ukraine as terrorists.On Tuesday, the Ukrainian parliament declared the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk as terrorist organizations, saying Kiev will no more hold peace negotiations with the regions’ representatives. Kiev has called the pro-Russian forces of eastern Ukraine terrorists since the beginning of the conflict in 2014. However, the official designation of the parliament would make pro-Russians subject to the counter-terrorism law, allowing the Ukrainian government to block their bank accounts, restrict their movement in the Ukrainian territory, and prevent them from contributing to the peace talks.
