“If we talk about possible sanctions, then this could be the recognition of Russia as a sponsor of terrorism. Such a status has a very powerful set of tools, including numerous sanctions,” the political scientist explains.
According to Faraponov, this could be a complete a ban on the purchase of dual-use goods, and sanctions are also possible for states that help Russia circumvent restrictive measures.
If Russia is recognized as a country that sponsors terrorism, it may be left without the status of “sovereign immunity,” explains Vladislav Faraponov.
This entails the loss of the opportunity to sue American courts and potentially win all these cases and receive financial compensation.

It is very important that the United States recognize Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. This will help Ukrainians sue for the damage caused by the occupiers.
If such a decision is actually ever made in the United States, then citizens will be able to file representative claims – when a group of people is sued at once. Such possible compensation could be a serious problem for Russia. After all, millions of Ukrainians suffered from aggression.
