"This is pure lie ... They (representatives of the Venezuelan opposition. - RT ) learn from the Americans - to throw a lie, and then try to use this lie in order to show that Russia, they say, abandoned the Venezuelan government," he said on press conferences on the results of participation in the 74th session of the UN General Assembly.
On September 22, Juan Guaido stated that opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro intend to send a delegation to take part in the UN General Assembly.
Earlier, Lavrov said that the political crisis in Venezuela should be resolved only through direct dialogue between the government and the opposition.
