Sputnik - Russian experts are in Venezuela as part of the 2001 military-technical cooperation agreement with Caracas, which needs no further approval, the Kremlin reported after reports of two military aircraft arriving with troops and cargoes. In the face of Trump government relations, the Russian Chancellery responded that the United States still considers "Latin America an area of its exclusive interests, its own 'backyard' and requires unquestioning obedience" as it was in colonial times under the Monroe Doctrine.
Russia develops its relations with Venezuela "in strict accordance with the Constitution of this country and in full respect of its legislation," said the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova.
The existing agreement was ratified by both Russia and Venezuela, and "does not require additional approval from the Venezuelan National Assembly," he said.
Zakharova was responding to a request from the media to comment on Russia's alleged "meddling" in Venezuelan affairs.
Following reports that two Russian military aircraft carrying about 100 soldiers and cargoes landed in the country on Saturday, the Organization of American States (OAS) called it "an act prejudicial to Venezuelan sovereignty," while the US State Department insisted in which it was "an imprudent escalation of the situation" in the country.
One of the strongest supporters of the overthrow of Nicolas Maduro's government, US Security Adviser John Bolton was also outraged by writing on Twitter that "the US will not tolerate hostile foreign military forces by meddling in common goals of democracy, security and democracy of the Western Hemisphere, and the rule of law. "
Washington acknowledged opposition leader Juan Guaidó as the legitimate president of Venezuela and came to consider the so-called "humanitarian intervention" to overthrow Nicolás Maduro from power.
Zakharova responded to Bolton by saying that his words prove that the United States still regards "Latin America as an area of its exclusive interests, its own 'backyard,' and requires unquestioning obedience" as it was in colonial times under the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine, named after US President James Monroe, was a policy of opposition to European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere from 1823, with Washington essentially claiming the administration of the Americas. At the same time, the doctrine stated that the US would not interfere in the internal affairs of European countries.
If Americans deny access to the Western Hemisphere to other countries, it raises the question "what are they doing in the Eastern Hemisphere?" The Russian diplomat said, referring to the strong US military presence in Europe and its involvement in " colored revolutions "in the former Soviet Union and the Balkans.
"Maybe they will believe that people in this part of the world will be grateful when Washington intentionally shifts its leaders and kill the unwanted, or the US still believes that people are waiting for Americans to bring democracy to them on the wings of their bombers. Iraqis, Libyans or Serbs about it, "said the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
