Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “We have to continue to work with the SPLA. We have to continue to work with them to professionalize them.”

We know the outcomes of these sham referenda were predetermined in Moscow. They, in no way, represent a legitimate expression of the will of the Ukrainian people. The will of the Ukrainian people is clear every day as they fight valiantly…

the UN Security Council to press Russia to support.

We plan to have solid support for it. And then we will move it to the General Assembly if we have to, as we did in the past.
