Russia lashes out at European interference in Venezuela political crisis

The Kremlin said on Monday that moves by some European countries to recognise Juan Guaido as interim president of Venezuela amounted to foreign meddling and that Venezuelans, not foreign countries, should resolve their own domestic political issues.

Spain, Britain, Austria, Sweden and Denmark recognised Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president of Venezuela on Monday, while France said he had the right to organise an election given the socialist government's refusal to do so.
