Estonian PM says that Russia’s pseudo-referendums will have opposite effect: More military assistance to Ukraine and more sanctions against the aggressor
KYIV. Sept 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said that the fake "referendums" of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine will have the opposite effect and rally support for Ukraine.
“The occupiers’ playbook in action. As Russia moves ahead with fake referenda in occupied territories of Ukraine, let me say it loud and clear: We will never recognize this. Ukraine has every right to take back its territory. Donbas, Crimea, Kherson = it’s all Ukraine,” she said on Twitter.
The premier stressed that “Russia keeps using blackmail and illegally tries to take what doesn’t belong to it.”
“Actions like this will have the opposite effect and rally our support to Ukraine. More military aid, more sanctions against the agressor, holding Russia accountable for its crimes,” she said.
As reported, on Tuesday, the so-called "people’s councils" of the self-proclaimed "L/DPR" announced their decision to hold so-called "referendums" on joining the Russian Federation from September 23 to September 27. Later, local gauleiters also announced the holding of so called "referendums" in the occupied parts of Kherson and Zaporizhia regions.
