Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has said that Russia should be recognised as a state sponsor of terrorism.

He stated this on Twitter while commenting on Russia’s attack on Odesa on Saturday, Evropeyska Pravda reported.

"The sole purpose of the Russian missile strikes on Odesa is terror. Russia should be recognised as a state sponsor of terrorism and treated accordingly. No business, no contacts, no cultural projects. We need a wall between civilisation and barbarians who shell peaceful cities", Kuleba wrote.

On Saturday afternoon, Russia attacked Odesa with cruise missiles fired by Tu-95 strategic aircraft flying over the waters of the Caspian Sea.

According to preliminary reports, two aerial targets were shot down by Ukrainian air defence, while another two missiles hit a military facility and two residential buildings.
