MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th January, 2019) The current events in Venezuela show the real attitude of the West toward international law and sovereignty of other states, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself the country's interim president.
The United States urged Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to step down and let Guaido to assume the presidency. Maduro responded that Venezuela was severing diplomatic ties with the United States and giving 72 hours "to all diplomatic and consular staff of the United States to leave the country."
"The events in Venezuela clearly demonstrate the real attitude of the progressive Western community toward international law, sovereignty and non-interference in domestic affairs of states by manually changing power there," Zakharova said on Facebook.
