Russia said on Friday U.S. 'narco-terrorism' charges against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro were absurd, adding that sanctions on Caracas could become 'a tool of genocide' amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The U.S. government on Thursday indicted Maduro and more than a dozen other top Venezuelan officials on charges of “narco-terrorism,” the latest escalation of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign aimed at ousting the socialist leader. “We can not stress enough our call for an immediate lifting of unilateral unlawful sanctions that are turning in the current epidemic into an instrument of genocide,” Zakharova was quoted as saying.

Comment: 03272020 In times of pandemic coronacrisis it's appropriate and human to temporary waive sanctions on elementary basics.

Injustice for sure! When americans, germanics or jews do such things, get's arrested, some Politician actions mostly covered up until his term expires but Other World Countries, get raided by foreign forces, etc. etc. No Embargos against DE, UK, ITA, Canada, etc. etc. EVER!
