“We regard this statement as incorrect. Russia and other countries have the right to use international airspace in accordance with the rules of the flight. No state in the world can unilaterally impose any restrictions on this, ”said Shvytkin.
According to the deputy, the statement of the American side is about the air blockade of Venezuela.
“This is completely unacceptable,” he said.
Earlier, the State Department spokesman said that the US authorities are calling on all countries of the world not to let Russian planes into Venezuela.
