A few days earlier, Lavrov also spoke against a possible military intervention in Venezuela, warning that the use of force may only be sanctioned by the UN Security Council.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has announced that there won’t be any “deals” on Venezuela between Moscow and Washington
“Trump is the one who usually prepares deals”, Lavrov remarked.
The foreign minister delivered this statement ahead of the upcoming meeting between him and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, which is scheduled to take place on 14 May in Sochi.
Earlier this week, Lavrov also dismissed speculations about the possibility of a military intervention in Venezuela, stating that Russia opposes “hostilities anywhere in violation of international law”, and that “the use of force may only be authorised by the UN Security Council, or force may be used in response to aggression against a sovereign state”.
