Russia is deeply concerned about what the US is doing around Venezuelan waters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on Saturday.

“We are certainly very alarmed by what the US has organized now in what are currently international waters, but near Venezuelan territorial waters,” Lavrov said. The foreign minister specified that he spoke with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yván Gil, about the matter the previous day.

“The situation is truly serious, because there are significant armed and naval forces there, including a nuclear submarine, and there are direct threats of military intervention to destroy ‘drug cartels’ and wage war on drug trafficking in general,” Lavrov said in reference to the new euphemisms used by the White House to legitimize a military action aiming at regime change in Venezuela.
