Ryabkov called on the United States to exercise restraint in relation to Venezuela

Russia is demonstrating support for the Venezuelan leadership, standing shoulder to shoulder with it, and appeals to the administration of US President Donald Trump to avoid exacerbating tensions that could lead to open conflict. This was announced on December 7 by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

According to him, the current situation in Venezuela is causing serious concern in Moscow. The reason for this is Washington's desire to establish unconditional dominance in the region, which, as the Deputy Foreign Minister noted, is a distinctive feature of the American administration.

"This is primarily due to the desire to assert the unquestioning dominance of the United States in the region, this is a trademark of the Trump administration," Ryabkov explained.
