MOSCOW, May 13. /TASS/. The United States is trying to remove Russian companies from global markets, including Africa and the Balkan Peninsula, as it is seeking to take the business Russia’s Rosneft oil major had with Venezuela over, the top Russian diplomat, Sergey Lavrov, told RT India in an interview. "You mentioned Lukoil and Rosneft. The goal - and no one is trying to hide it - is to make these companies leave international business altogether. <…> Efforts are being made to push Lukoil and Rosneft out of the global, including African, markets. These companies, especially Lukoil, but Rosneft too, operated multiple facilities in North Africa and elsewhere. The same applies to the Balkan markets, where our companies also operated successfully," the Russian foreign minister lamented. "If we look at other regions, I already mentioned Venezuela, with which Rosneft cooperated extensively. Now the Americans want to take that business over. It is unlikely to remain cooperation among peers," he added.
