Russia is ready for specialized contacts on Venezuela with the United States, although the most important thing is not the format but the dialogue on the situation in the Latin American country, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Tuesday following consultations with US Special Representative for Venezuela Elliott Abrams.

"We are ready to continue the dialogue with the US on the issue, because the seriousness of the situation leaves no room for error," he said. "We need to understand each other’s intentions as accurately as possible."

"In what form that will be done is of secondary importance," Ryabkov went on to say. "If these are specialized contacts, we are ready for them. At least, there will be no problem here as far as we are concerned."
