Moscow, November 11 (Xinhua) — Moscow has not received any requests from Caracas for military assistance in connection with US actions in Venezuelan territorial waters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Tuesday.
“No, we have not received any such requests,” he said in response to a question from Russian media.
S. Lavrov noted that Moscow is “ready to fully act within the framework of the obligations that are mutually enshrined with our Venezuelan friends” in the strategic partnership and cooperation agreement.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry also stated that “the actions taken by the United States under the pretext of combating drug trafficking are unacceptable.”
“This is generally not how law-abiding countries operate, but rather how those who consider themselves above the law operate,” the Russian minister added.
