UNITED NATIONS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th January, 2019) Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia on Saturday called on the international community to avoid taking any discriminatory economic measures against Venezuela.

"We should refrain from discriminatory economic measures against this country.

The current economic crisis, to large extent, was provoked by those countries who are the first to cry about suffering of the Venezuelan people," Nebenzia said at an emergency UN Security Council meeting.

"In case you continue with your actions, tomorrow, instead of Venezuela, any other Latin American country can find itself on its place," Nebenzia stressed.
