WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 29th November, 2022) The United States believes that designating Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism would hamper certain actions designed to help Ukraine, US Permanent Representative to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Michael Carpenter said on Tuesday.

"It would hamper our ability to provide humanitarian assistance and other forms of support to Ukraine," Carpenter told reporters.

Such a designation also would not give additional tools to ramp up the cost on Russia, he added.
