Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a phone call with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday to discuss recent global developments, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry’s statement, Lavrov warned Pompeo against any attempt to interfere into internal affairs of Caracas, including the “force option”.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said earlier on Tuesday that Moscow hopes this draft resolution will enable the creation of a document which will ensure sufficient support and be adopted by the Security Council.
In addition, Lavrov called on his US counterpart to forego plans to impose additional sanctions on Moscow over the Skripal case.
