Condemnation of the US military operation in Venezuela

According to Главком: Russia condemns the US military operation in Venezuela, during which the country's president Nicolas Maduro was detained.

The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed 'deep concern and condemnation' regarding the US attack on Venezuela. Lavrov, commenting on Washington's actions, noted that:

'The actions of the United States are condemned.' - Sergey Lavrov

At the same time, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev emphasized that the US military operation violates international law.

Reaction of the international community

The operation was declared successful by US President Donald Trump, which provoked a sharp reaction from Russian officials. It is important to note that the detention of Maduro became part of broader actions that raised concerns among the international community.

This situation highlights the escalation of tensions between the US and Russia, and illustrates the complexity of international relations when the military actions of one country provoke an active response from another.
