MOSCOW. April 30 (Interfax) - Interference in Venezuela's affairs from the outside is unacceptable, and other countries should act strictly in compliance with United Nations mechanisms, Russian Federation Council Foreign Affairs Committee head Konstantin Kosachyov said.
"Needless to say, there can be no talk about pretexts for interference from the outside - and we know perfectly well that there are external forces just waiting for a pretext to intensify their actions, including forcible ones. We are firmly convinced that other countries must act within the framework of the UN Charter and UN Security Council decisions," Kosachyov wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
"Any attempts to act in circumvention of the existing international mechanisms constitute direct interference in a sovereign state's affairs," he said.
