The Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov, denied that he will reach a "treat"with the United States about Venezuela during the consultations to be held next week in Moscow with the North American Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo.
"Usually, the offers are something (the President of the United States, Donald) Trump", commented Lavrov at the official agency Ria Nóvosti before attending the parade on Red Square for the day of victory.
Russian Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday Pompeo's first visit to this country, which triggered rumors about a possible agreement between the two nations for the resolution of the crisis in this Latin American country, where Moscow and Washington support different parties.
In this regard, the spokesman of the Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov, It has not been ruled out that the President, Vladimir Putin, receives Pompeo after the negotiations with Lavrov in the Sochi (Black Sea) baths.
The Venezuelan crisis has already been at the center of the first meeting that Lavrov and Pompeo organized Monday after nearly a year as part of the Arctic Council summit in Finland.
After this meeting, Lavrov badured that Moscow is opposed to a possible military intervention in Venezuela to overthrow Nicolás Maduro's regime, which he warned would be "catastrophic" and "unjustified".
While, Pompeo, whose country supports the leader of the opposition, Juan Guaidó, who heads the National Assembly (Parliament) and was recognized as president of his country by more than fifty nations, acknowledged last week that "military action is possible"
In his recent phone conversation with the US president, Putin said it was incumbent on Venezuelans to define the future of their country and noted that external interference and attempts to change power by force compromised the possibilities of a political solution to the crisis.
While, Trump was pleased that Putin badured him that Russia did not intend to intervene in Venezuela, where is a group of Russian military specialists.
In fact, shortly before his meeting with Lavrov Sunday in Moscow, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza announced that the Russian military presence in the country could soon increase.
Peskov also noted that, for the moment, the Kremlin was not preparing a possible meeting between Putin and Trump at the G20 summit in late June in Osaka.
