US sanctions against Venezuelan Oil Company PDVSA (Petroleos de Venezuela) is blatant illegal intervention, said Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday.
“The legal leadership of Venezuela has already described these sanctions as illegal. We can fully join this point of view,” said he.
He recalled the “consistent attitude of Moscow to such restrictions, to which American colleagues are increasingly beginning to resort.”
“We do not consider this to be right; we consider it most often to be the manifestations of unfair competition. In this case, this is a continued line on undisguised interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela,” the Kremlin spokesperson said.
