The leaders of the G7 countries also condemned the Russian-organized “referendums” in the occupied parts of Ukraine, calling it a flagrant violation of international law.
Russian ” referendums ” in the occupied Ukrainian territories are a hoax and the US will never recognize them.
This was stated by US President Joe Biden, writes Reuters .
According to him, these referendums are aimed at annexing the occupied regions, and Washington “will never recognize Ukrainian territory as something other than part of Ukraine.
In his statement, Biden said that Washington “will work with allies and partners to inflict additional rapid and severe economic losses on Russia.”
G7 condemned fictitious referendums in Ukraine
Together with Biden, the leaders of the G7 countries also condemned the Russian-organized “referenda” in the occupied parts of Ukraine for the annexation of these territories, calling it a gross violation of international law, writes The New York Times .
“These fictitious referendums, initiated by Russia and its collaborators, have no legal force or legitimacy, as evidenced by hasty organization methods that in no way respect democratic norms, and Russia’s outright intimidation of the local population,” the G7 leaders said.
The G7 leaders noted that these pseudo-referendums are in no way a legitimate expression of the will of the Ukrainian people.
“We will never recognize these referendums, which seem to be a step towards Russian annexation, and we will never recognize a likely annexation if it takes place,” the G7 leaders added.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Friday that the Biden administration is “ready to impose additional swift and severe economic sanctions on Russia, along with our allies and partners, in response to these actions if they advance annexation.”

They already have, so get on with it and stop prevaricating.
Why weren’t the ‘swift and severe’ sanctions imposed once it became clear that Pukin was committing genocide?
Genocide not serious enough?
Because we have a demented, ball-less, impotent, idiotic administration. Thank God for the Brits. Biden wants to take credit for pulling the west together, but anyone following this story, knows it was the Brits who were shaming the rest of the west into action.
How about instead we impose a swift foot up ruZZia’s ass and quit playing pat a cake with putler.

Mafia land has been breaking international laws for decades. It has deserved to be handed rapid and severe sanctions for years.
