Borrell threatens Russia with new sanctions in response to “referendum”

Illegal “votes” can under no circumstances be considered the free will of the people, the head of European diplomacy said.

The European Union will introduce new sanctions against Russia in the event of a “referendum” in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. This is what EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell said on Tuesday, September 20.

According to him, the fake “referendums” are an attempt by Russia to legitimize its illegal military control, aimed at forcing to change the borders of Ukraine, which is a clear violation of the UN Charter and the freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

“The European Union strongly condemns these planned illegal ‘referendums’, which are contrary to the legitimate and democratically elected authorities of Ukraine, violate the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and are a grave violation of international law. The results of such actions are invalid and cannot be recognized by the EU and its member states”, he said.

According to Borrell, these illegal “votes” cannot be considered the free will of the people living in the occupied regions under constant threats and intimidation by the Russian military.

He assured that Russia, its political leadership and all those involved in these “referendums” and other violations of international law in Ukraine will be held accountable. Additional restrictive measures against Russia will also be considered.

It will be recalled that the occupying authorities have now announced that “referendums” on joining Russia will be held in the occupied territories from September 23 to 27.

The Office of the President believes Russia is rushing to hold a “referendum” because it fears losing the war in Ukraine.
