Albania has condemned the annexation of the four regions of Donetsk, Luhanks, Zhaprozhzhia and Kherson in Ukraine by Russia.
Through an announcement to the media, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olta Xhaçka, has informed that Albania will not recognize the predetermined results in these areas. According to the minister, any annexation of the territory of a state to another sovereign state is a violation of the principles of the UN Charter.
"Albania condemns the fake referendums organized by Russia in Ukraine and will not recognize their predetermined results. Any annexation of the territory of a state by another state, which comes as a result of threats or the use of force, is a violation of the principles of the UN Charter and international law," the Albanian government's response states.
