US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield assured that the US will never recognize the results of the so-called pseudo-referenda of the Russian Federation held in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
The US diplomat noted that the US plans to introduce a resolution condemning Russia for the so-called “referendums”.
This statement was made by the US Ambassador during a meeting of the UN Security Council, convened through Russian pseudo-referendums, on Tuesday, September 27.
“We know that the results of fake referendums were preliminarily determined in Moscow. They do not express the will of the Ukrainian people. The will of Ukrainians is understood every day when they fight for their state, defending territorial integrity and sovereignty. The Ukrainian people have already demonstrated that they will never accept subordination of the Russian Federation. This Council and the international community should do the same. I will say clearly. The United States will never recognize any seizures of territories by Russia. They will be considered Ukrainian“, Linda Thomas-Greenfield emphasized.
The US Ambassador to the UN urged America's partners to impose appropriate sanctions against the Russian Federation and provide support to Ukraine.She stressed that in this way the UN countries protect the Charter of the organization.
“During the constant meetings of the Rada, we constantly heard that the Charter must be respected, but it is not enough just to call. We must defend it personally, that is, defend Ukraine, and the victims of Russian atrocities.We must condemn both the Russian aggression and the attempted annexation of Ukraine.It. will demonstrate that we demand peace and that Russia respect the UN Charter. If we do not do this, we will allow the Russian Federation to break the law further. Russia started this war, and I hope that any member of this Council will do the right thing in upholding international law and the UN Charter, calling on the Russian Federation to stop these actions immediately,” she said.
The diplomat warned the Russian Federation that if it refuses to try to annex Ukraine, the United States will let Moscow know that it will face an answer for disrespecting the UN Charter .
“Ukraine's struggle is not only a struggle for survival, but also for democracy and the very principles that are dear to us. That is why we will submit a resolution condemning fake referendums and calling on states to recognize the status of Ukraine and force the Russian Federation to withdraw its troops from Ukraine .Fake RF referendums could open a Pandora's box that we can't close. Accordingly, we encourage you to reaffirm your commitment to the UN Charter and confront these challenges.If the RF chooses to shield itself from responsibility, then we will send to Moscow that we will defend the Charter. We must have courage and support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. This is the protection of our collective affairs. This is truly peace and security,” the American ambassador summed up.
