The annexation of the southern regions of Ukraine was commented by other officials of the European Union. “27 leaders condemn illegal annexation. We do not recognize and never recognize the fake referendum. We never recognize the illegal annexation,” wrote the head of the European Council Charles Michelle on Twitter.
“Annexation of Ukrainian territories by Russia is a great violation of international law and the UN Charter. No fake referendum can justify this,” said the Supreme EU EU on foreign policy, Josep Borrel.
