The US Congress has been urged to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, as part of a broader package of sanctions aimed at curbing Russia's aggressive behavior. This move is seen as a significant step in giving President Trump the tools he needs to deal with Russia.

However, the situation is complex, with one of the groups involved failing to disarm as agreed, and instead rearming for potential future conflict.
A devastating event occurred on October 7th, in which over 1,200 people were killed, raped, or murdered by radical Islamists.
