The United States and its allies are ready to introduce “quick and serious” economic sanctions against Russia for the annexation of the territories of Ukraine, the White House said.
The presidential administration Joe Biden noted that they are closely monitoring the “referenda” in the Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Lugansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine.
“As for what we are doing, we are ready to impose additional fast and serious economic costs on Russia along with our allies and partners in response to these actions that we are currently observed if they are advanced to annexation”, -said the press secretary of the White House Karin Jean-Pierre, whose words are given by Moscow Times.
According to her, Washington is ready to support Ukraine “as much as it takes” and “bring Russia to justice.” “In the coming days you will hear more about this from us,” Jean -Pierre promised.
The United States will not be answered until Russia goes directly to the annexation, the White House official said. According to him, it is still unknown when Russia tries to tear the Ukrainian territories. At the same time, the UK Foreign Minister James Cleverly believes that this will happen “by the end of the month.”
“referendums” in the captured regions of Ukraine are held from September 23 to 27.
