TASHKENT (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 02nd May, 2019) Russia will establish a group of nations to counteract a possible US military intervention in Venezuela, and such a group is already being formed in the United Nations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday.

"We will mobilize a group of states that, like us, respect the UN Charter to oppose such plans. Such a group is being formed in the UN, and I hope that it will receive serious support in the organization, because it is a very simple thing, it is difficult to somehow distort this topic, [i.e.] the protection of fundamental norms and principles of international law, and how they are written in the UN Charter," Lavrov said when asked what the reaction of Russia would be to US interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
