If a resolution on this issue cannot be adopted in the Security Council of the United States of America, it intends to raise the question of the evaluation of the "referendums" held in "DPR", "LPR", Zaporozhye and Kherson regions before the UN General Assembly.

According to information reported by APA with reference to TASS, this was said by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US Permanent Representative to the UN, at the meeting of the Security Council on Ukraine on Tuesday.

"If Russia decides to defend itself in the Security Council, then we will appeal to the General Assembly and send a clear message to Moscow," he said.

The USA and Albania prepared a draft resolution on the "referendum" in the above regions with accusations against Russia.

It is expected that a vote on this will be held in the near future.
