Holding a referendum in the occupied Ukrainian territories will have no legal basis and will face a strong response from the international community, a Ukrainian government spokesman said on Sunday, following reports that the breakaway region of Luhansk may hold a referendum on joining Russia.
LETTER BY LTER HERE ALL DEVELOPMENTS
The Russian-controlled Luhansk region in eastern Ukraine could soon hold a referendum on joining Russia, according to the leader of the region's Russian-speakers.
Speaking to Reuters on the issue, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said all referendums in the temporarily occupied territories are "invalid" and "will have no legal force."
"Instead, Russia will face an even stronger response from the international community, which will further intensify its global isolation," he said."
