"Ideological hostility has triumphed over business pragmatism and the willingness to build trustworthy relationships," the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

"In the current situation, it is essential, above all, to prevent theescalation of violence and to find a way out through dialogue. We believe that they must seek solutions through dialogue. We are prepared to cooperate in this process, "added the Ministry led by Sergei Lavrov.

"Latin America must remain the area of peace declared in 2014 and Venezuela must be guaranteed the right to determine its destiny without destructive external intervention, let alone military intervention," the Ministry said.

Russia has also supported the request of the Venezuelan authorities and leaders of other Latin American countries to convene an urgent meeting ofthe UN Security Council .

Iranhas also condemned the US military attack on Venezuela, which it described as a flagrant violation of international law, and has called for an immediate response from the international community to stop it.

The ministry has reported that the US attack on "a sovereign state "has been "a threat to regional and international peace and security." The Iranian Government has warned that the attack affects the entire international system because the order based on the UN Charter will be weakened.
