Russia is preparing for the annexation of the captured territories of Ukraine according to the scenario of 2014, said the official representative of the US National Security Council John Kirby.
“Russia begins to present to us the version of what we could call the annexation script, very similar to what we saw in 2014, he said.” Russia is already establishing illegitimate authorities in units of Ukraine, which it controls “, reports the Russian service BBC.
Kirby added that Russia is preparing for the organization of “fake referenda”.
“Annexation by force is contrary to the UN Charter, we will challenge her and will not allow it to remain unpunished,” Kirby said.
