The United States is seriously considering declaring Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink has said.

"We are considering this issue, it requires careful analysis in accordance with American laws," Brink said in an interview with Radio Liberty on Sunday, July 24.
