The US envoy for Venezuela will meet Russian officials on Venezuelan crisis, said the US State Department has said.
Elliott
Abrams, the US Special Representative for Venezuela, will meet with
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov and other Russian
officials in Rome, on March 18-19, said the State Department in a
statement on Saturday, Xinhua reported.
The two sides will discuss "the deteriorating situation in Venezuela," according to the statement.
Following
its recognition of Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as the
nation's "interim president" in late January, the Donald Trump
administration has kept piling up pressure on incumbent Venezuelan
President Nicholas Maduro through sanctions and other measures.
In
response to Washington's support for Guaido, Maduro announced that he
was severing "diplomatic and political" ties with the US.
Moscow
has condemned Washington's threats against the legitimate Venezuelan
leadership, calling them "blatant interference" in Venezuela's internal
affairs and a "flagrant violation" of international law.
The
Russian Foreign Ministry said earlier this month that Russia is ready
for consultations on the Venezuela crisis with the US in accordance with
the principles of the UN Charter.
