MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th September, 2019) The situation with Venezuela remains worrying as the United States is still raising the issue of potential use of force, Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, said Friday.

"The situation with this country remains of concern largely because of the policy of Washington, which keeps raising irresponsibly the issue of the potential use of force," Zakharova told a briefing.

She cited a recent statement of the US State Department that linked the resolution of "strictly internal Venezuelan issues" with the need to use the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, also know as the Rio Treaty.
