JAV tol neatšauks sankcijų, kol Krymas liks okupuotas.
"On this one-year anniversary of the sham 'referendum' in Crimea, held in clear violation of Ukrainian law and the Ukrainian constitution, the United States reiterates its condemnation of a vote that was not voluntary, transparent, or democratic," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
"Russia used its military to forcibly seize and occupy Crimea, sovereign Ukrainian territory, and then staged an illegal so-called referendum in a feeble attempt to justify its actions," Psaki told reporters.
"Over the last year, Russia has instituted repression on a mass scale in Crimea, driving out NGOs and leaving non-Russian minorities, including the Crimean tatars, to flee or go into hiding," she added.
In a separate statement, Psaki vowed that "this week, as Russia attempts to validate its cynical and calculated 'liberation' of Crimea, we reaffirm that sanctions related to Crimea will remain in place as long as the occupation continues."
"A year ago President Putin told the world that Russian military forces were not intervening in Crimea. He now acknowledges to the world that Russian forces did in fact intervene, and those are his own words," Psaki told reporters.
"So it certainly brings into question the credibility of claims being made today that the Russian military is not intervening in eastern Ukraine."
