This was despite United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning Russia against the “annexation” of the four regions accusing Moscow of prompting a “dangerous escalation,” and calling on the Kremlin “to step back from the brink.”
His remarks came one day before the ceremonial signing of treaties on the inclusion of the two Donbas republics, as well as states in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, into the Russian Federation.
On Friday 23 September 2022, United States of America’s President Joe Biden warned Russia there will be “swift and severe” costs if Moscow uses “sham” referendums to annex more of Ukraine.
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022 citing human rights abuses on Russian-speaking citizens, claims that were dismissed as propaganda to justify an “unjustified, unprovoked war” against its neighbours.
