Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said America's efforts 'to topple the legitimate government' were in breach of international law.
A senior Russian diplomat has said the Kremlin is prepared to send more troops to Venezuela to support President Nicolas Maduro in his face-off with the U.S.-backed opposition trying to depose him.
Citing a clause in the national constitution, the leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, Juan Guaido, declared himself interim president in January and called on Maduro to step aside., China and other nations. The arrival of Russian troops in Venezuela in March raised fears that the nation could become a war battleground in a proxy war between the U.S., Russia and China.
"I see no reason to keep discussing the topic of Russian military specialists endlessly," he said."It is not a problem." Asked whether the Kremlin would send more Russian specialists to Venezuela in future, Ryabkov simply answered,"Yes."
