The Government of Ukraine has requested this Saturday an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council to discuss the holding of a referendum in the Ukrainian territories occupied by Russian troops.
The spokesman for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Oleg Nikolenko, has requested that an urgent meeting be created to deal with “the false referendums of Russia in the occupied territories of Ukraine”.
“Russia must be held accountable for its new attempts to change the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine in violation of the UN Charter,” he urged in a message posted on his Twitter social network account.
The pro-Russian authorities are holding referendums from this Friday to Tuesday in the occupied areas of Kherson, Zaporizhia, Donetsk and Lugansk, with the aim of joining these regions to the Russian Federation.
“Given the preliminary results of the referendums and Russia’s willingness to recognize the results, it is most likely that the process for the territories’ entry (into the Russian Federation) will take place on September 30,” a parliamentary source explained. quoted by the TASS news agency.
Russian President Vladimir Putin himself could participate in the procedure. “I don’t know if he will participate, but most likely he will,” he said.
