US, UK and EU agree on stronger sanctions if Russia attempt to legitimise occupation

America’s ambassador, Geoffrey Pyatt, in Kiev, outlined today that the Us would refuse to recognise the upcoming referendum in Crimea, and warned of further action should Russia look to use the vote to legitimise its occupation.

The ambassador further outlined that next week’s referendum, could lead to stronger sanctions by the US and the UK.

Angela Merkal and British Premier, earlier today, echoed calls for stronger sanctions in the event of Russia attempting to legitimise the occupation of Crimea, with a referendum on the matter.
