Russia refuses to participate in conference on Venezuelan conflict
Russia decided not to participate in the international conference on the ongoing crisis in Venezuela on August 6 in Lima.
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs explained that the Ministry has studied the purpose of the conference "in support of democracy" and considered it inappropriate. According to Moscow, the dialogue does not make sense without representatives of the government of Nicolás Maduro.
"It is unlikely that 100 delegations with different views will be able to agree on measures of real assistance" at a one-day meeting, stated Russian Foreign Ministry.
