(NBC) John Kerry Says U.S. Wont Recognize Crimea Vote Secretary of State John Kerry said neither the United States nor the international community would recognize the outcome of Sundays Crimea referendum. He said there would be consequences” if Moscow does not find “a way to change course over the future of Ukraine - a sign that there had been no deal despite six hours of talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in London. Kerry said the only concern of the U.S. was the rights of the Ukrainian people. “We are interested in the people of Ukraine having their country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity respected,” he told a news conference. Although the two men posed for the cameras before their meeting, they appeared separately in front of reporters, underscoring the gap between Moscow and Washington. “We do not have a common vision of the situation,” Lavrov earlier told journalists through an interpreter, adding that the “dialogue was constructive.” - Alexander Smith
