“This sham referendum started today by Russia it has no legal effect or legitimacy, as demonstrated by the hasty methods in organizing it and the intimidation of the local population “.
These referendums, in areas that have been placed under Russian control, “do not represent a legitimate expression of the will of the Ukrainian people, who have strongly opposed Russian attempts to change borders by force”. “
We will never recognize – they continue – these referendums which appear to be a step towards Russian annexation and we will not recognize annexation if it happens “.
“We also deplore – reads the text published by the White House – the deliberate Russian steps that raised the tensionincluding the partial mobilization of reservists and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric “.
The G7 appeals to “all countries” to unequivocally reject “the” farce referendum “. The Big Seven will guarantee Ukraine further financial, humanitarian, military, diplomatic and legal aid, including through the Conference for the reconstruction of the country scheduled in Berlin on 25 October.
“We – concludes the document – will remain firmly at Ukraine’s side for as long as necessary”.
