“US will impose additional sanctions if the captured regions of Ukraine are included in Russia.” About this on Friday, August 12, said a senior American official.
According to him, the United States does not recognize the accessions of the territories of Ukraine to Russia, and they will not allow possible referenda to pass undoubtedly.
“The accession of units of Ukraine would contradict the UN Charter. We will answer quickly and hard,” he said.
Recall that Russia plans referendums on accession in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions, as well as in the separatist republics of Donbass.
