"The European Parliament should declare Russia a terrorist state for the "intimidation and destruction of Ukrainians as a nation," according to a strongly-worded resolution being drafted by the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) and seen by Euronews.
At least two other political groups, Renew Europe and the European Conservatives and Reformists, are preparing similar texts, Euronews can confirm, increasing the odds for a formal declaration to be issued by the hemicycle as early as next Wednesday.
The groups plan to put their resolutions, which could be eventually merged into one, to a vote during next week's plenary, where they would necessitate a majority of MEPs to be formally adopted.
Parliamentary resolutions are not legally binding but can carry a heavy symbolic weight.
'Terrorist actions'
The resolution drafted by the EPP accuses Russia of perpetrating deliberate and indiscriminate atrocities against Ukraine, including the "mass murder" of civilians, continued attacks against essential infrastructure, abductions, torture, sexual violence, forced deportations and crimes of sexual violence."
