Pompeo’s statements about claims of a political change in Venezuela are a recognition of the US campaign to destabilize the situation in sovereign nations, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Here we have an example on how the White House interprets international law. Pompeo, with just two phrases, offered the basis to demonstrate the need for the approval in Russia of a law on foreign agents and the creation of a sovereign Internet, the official explained.
In vain, the American ambassadors tried to convince the public opinion about their supposed peaceful intentions and the legality of the US action when «exporting the freedoms,» Zakharova pointed out.
Pompeo’s words about Venezuela also confirm that the northern country never abandoned its tactics of meddling in the internal affairs of other nations and carrying out forced government changes, the spokeswoman said.
The internal political processes that have taken place in many Latin American countries have their motives and their rhythms, acting Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently said.
