Russian Senator: “People want to throw Venezuela into the abyss of crisis”
The situation in Venezuela is being used as a training ground to satisfy the United States' imperial ambitions, while Europe wants to swear allegiance to Washington, Oleg Morozov, a member of the Federation Council's international affairs committee, told Sputnik on Thursday.

The European Parliament previously approved a resolution recognizing Juan Guaido as the legitimate interim president of Venezuela and called on the EU diplomatic service and member states to make a similar decision.
"Venezuela is not important to them. It is a testing ground to practice the strategy of confrontation with all those who do not share Washington's imperial ambitions. The world is clearly divided along the basin into those who always say 'yes' and those who defend their national interests," said Morozov.
According to him, Venezuela is a sign of reality: US allies are forced to swear oaths while having to trample on their interests viciously, not even hiding behind legalistic rhetoric.
"People absolutely want to throw Venezuela into the abyss of crisis and civil war. And then defiantly loot. In international life, finally, the era of lawlessness and politics has arrived," the senator concluded.
