Russia: US influence in Venezuela ‘destructive,’ violates international law

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov tells his US counterpart Mike Pompeo the “destructive influence” of the United States in Venezuela was a violation of international law.

In a US-led telephone conversation, Lavrov says “Washington’s interference in Venezuelan affairs is a flagrant violation of international law” and that “this destructive influence has nothing to do with democracy,” the Russian Foreign Ministry quotes him as saying in a statement.
