MOSCOW (AFP) -- Moscow Wednesday warned Venezuela's self-declared interim president Juan Guaido against "inviting foreign intervention" by using aid shipments as "cover," and called for dialogue between the government and opposition.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow was concerned about "threats from the U.S. that are actively supported... by Venezuela's opposition, essentially inviting foreign intervention." He said that "whether direct or under cover of humanitarian aid," such an intervention is "unlikely to bring the result (Guaido) seeks."
