“Today we heard from the lips of the distinguished representative of the United Kingdom the old song - the Russian project did not work, and the American one was vetoed, in fact, the whole combination was started for this,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to the diplomat, the Russian document contained support for the “Montevideo mechanism”.
“Dialogue and mediation are clearly not what Washington and those delegations that support it are striving for,” Nebenzya concluded.
It became known earlier that the UN Security Council did not adopt the Russian draft resolution on Venezuela.
The document was supported by four countries, seven, including the United States and several European countries, voted against and four more abstained.
It was also reported that Russia and China vetoed the US version of the UN Security Council resolution on Venezuela.
