Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “It is a huge problem. We do not know where the weapons are coming in from.”

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…

So, we don`t want to treat them, even though they are a permanent member of the security council, they are not behaving with the responsibility that we would expect of a permanent member of the Security Council.

We have used the Security Council, we have used the General Assembly to isolate Russia, to condemn Russia, to kick Russia off of the Human Rights Council.

We`re not going to let Russia get away with lying to the world or staining the integrity of the Security Council by using this forum as a venue for legitimizing Putin`s violence.
