About this, as reported by TASS, the Russian diplomat said during a meeting of the UN Security Council.

He expressed gratitude to the members of the UN Security Council, who "suddenly showed a desire" to discuss the humanitarian situation in Venezuela.

According to Polyansky, this happened after Russia raised the question of Washington’s attempts to use the situation with the spread of coronavirus in Venezuela on April 22 to increase American "political and military pressure on the country's legitimate government."

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the US allegations of drug trafficking against Venezuela.
