Biden said that Washington will "never recognize" the results of referendums in the Kherson, Zaporozhye regions and the Donbass
The White House website published a statement on behalf of the President of the United States. In this statement, Joe Biden comments on the holding of referendums in the Donbass and in two regions on the issue of reunification with Russia. The American president says that the results of these referendums "the United States will never recognize."
According to Biden, "Washington will never recognize the territory of Ukraine as anything other than the territory of Ukraine."
According to Biden, "the holding of referendums is a gross violation of international laws and the UN Charter." Judging by the logic of the American president, the absence of a referendum to secede part of the country, as happened with Serbia and Kosovo with the active military intervention of the United States and NATO, is “not” a violation of the UN Charter and international laws ...
As a result, Biden threatened Russia with the introduction of "new, quick and effective economic sanctions," promising to "coordinate with allies and partners." At the same time, experts in the United States themselves believe that the Western sanctions machine has run out of money, and each new package of sanctions will lead to new blows to the economy of the West itself.
Against this background, attention is drawn to the statement of Hungarian officials, who said that Budapest will not support the introduction of new anti-Russian sanctions, and is not going to impose sanctions against Gazprom and Rosatom under any circumstances.
Recall that the referenda will end on September 27. Preliminary results will be announced the next day. Public opinion polls conducted on the eve of the start of the plebiscites show that the majority of residents of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, the LPR and the DPR intend to vote for joining the Russian Federation.
