BRUSSELS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th September, 2022) NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance would consider the forthcoming referenda on joining Russia "illegitimate," the international community should condemn them.

"Sham referendums have no legitimacy & do not change the nature of #Russia's war of aggression against #Ukraine. This is a further escalation in Putin's war. The international community must condemn this blatant violation of international law & step up support for Ukraine," Stoltenberg said on Twitter.
