According to the diplomat, Russia, "not politicizing humanitarian assistance," provides Venezuela with assistance, in particular, using "tried and tested channels of reputable international organizations."
“I am convinced that other countries declaring their concern about the state of affairs in Venezuela should have done the same ... without playing with their military muscles,” RIA Novosti quotes Zaemsky
Earlier, Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, during a meeting of the Security Council, said that the United States was preparing a "flagrant" provocation on the border of Venezuela and Colombia on February 23 under the guise of supplying humanitarian aid.
