The United States must not worry about Russian weapons

(RIA Novosty) - "When asked about the Russian project to sell AK-47 fusils to Venezuela, Leonid Ivachov, Vice President of Geopolitical Issues Academy, said the United States worries about this only because of the competitiveness of the weapons market.

'The United States uses political, economical and military influence to limit access from Russia to the weapons market', said Ivachov.

According to him, Russia must not give in to this type of pressure".
