The U.S. will introduce a UN Security Council resolution condemning Russia's 'sham' referendums in four occupied regions of Ukraine, U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Tuesday.
Tuesday that large majorities in the areas either fully or partially controlled by Moscow voted in favor of joining Russia.
"Russia's sham referenda, if accepted, will open a Pandora's box that we cannot close," Thomas-Greenfield told the Security Council Tuesday. "The rush for Russia to institute and complete these attempted annexations destroy even the facade of legitimacy." Thomas-Greenfield did not say when the U.S., along with Albania, would introduce the Security Council resolution, though Russia, which has veto power, would likely block it.
