Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Friday that a military scenario in Venezuela, which is experiencing a deep political crisis, may be catastrophic.
“Use of military force may be catastrophic,” Ryabkov told CNN, adding that Unites States were aggravating the situation in Venezuelan.
On Tuesday, the months-long political crisis in Venezuela escalated after the opposition-led Venezuelan National Assembly announced that recently sworn-in President Nicolas Maduro was a usurper, paving the way for the legislature’s leader, Juan Guaido, to declare himself the country’s acting president. The next day, Washington recognized the would-be interim president.
