lavrov: Attempts to stage a violent upheaval in Caracas have nothing to do with democratic process, and only disrupt any prospects of political settlement, Lavrov said, according to the Moscow-backed broadcaster RT. Any US attempt to topple Maduro through force would bring grave consequences Lavrov reportedly warned, according to The Guardian. Earlier, the US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, urged Russia which, alongside China, is one of Maduro's two key international backers to stop interfering in Venezuela. Sergei Lavrov made the comments during a visit to Moscow by Venezuela's foreign minister, Jorge Arreaza an apparent bid to stress international support for Maduro following last week's abortive uprising against him in Caracas. We want Venezuela to be an autonomous, independent sovereign state, with democratic elected officials. We don't want anyone messing around with Venezuela. This is what we desire for the Venezuelan people, Pompeo, who is due to meet Lavrov in Finland on Monday, told Fox News.
