Czech lawmakers have backed a resolution recognizing the current "regime" in Russia as "terrorist" in reposnse to Moscow's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and the recent wave of attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. In total, 129 Czech lawmakers voted for the resolution on November 15, while 14 voted against it. The document also condemns Russia's annexation of parts of four eastern Ukrainian regions via so-called referendums. Last month, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution that declared Russia a "terrorist regime."
