Abstract
This article will focus on a large-scale concept that is not visualized in international law, state terrorism. The phenomenon of terrorism is one of the oldest in human history. At the same time, the political contradictions that existed between the states prevented high-quality international legal qualification. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court did not include such a crime as "state terrorism". State terrorism is aimed at mass intimidation of the population. It is carried out through indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets, demonstrative killings and threats of physical violence, psychological impact in the information environment. In case of aggressive war of Russia against Ukraine, it serves an instrument of implementing the genocide of the Ukrainian people. These acts carried out by the Russian army units during the invasion of Ukraine starting from 2014. Russia should be recognized as a terrorist state and its high commanders as international terrorists.
