Washington will not allow Moscow to annex them.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken once again warned Russia about tough consequences if the aggressor decides to annex the captured territories to Ukraine, writes Reuters.
According to Blinken, Washington will not allow Moscow to invade and capture foreign territories without resistance, as Russian aggression threatens the principles of peace.
“If we allow a large country to bully a smaller one, simply invade it and seize its territory, then open season will begin not only in Europe, but also in the whole world,” Blinken explained.
It should be noted that today the head of the occupation Zaporizhzhia administration Yugen Balytskyi “ordered” to hold a pseudo-referendum on “joining the Russian Federation” in the occupied territories of the region.
