US will 'never' recognize Russia's Ukraine annexation attempts: W.House
The United States will "never" recognize Russian attempts to annex parts of Ukraine and is preparing new economic sanctions on Moscow, the White House says.
"We will never recognize these illegal and illegitimate attempts at annexation," Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tells reporters after Moscow said that Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine had voted to join Russia.
