The USA has detained Venezuelan President Maduro: what is known about the special operation

Detention of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro

According to Главком: The USA has detained Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during a large-scale special operation. The detention took place in the context of growing tensions between Washington and Caracas, which prompted a response from former 'DNR' defense minister Igor Girkin. He stated that this is a manifestation of a coup carried out by the United States in Venezuela.

Nicolas Maduro, who has held the position of president since March 5, 2013, won the general elections on April 14, 2013, defeating his opponent Henrique Capriles. The detention of Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores is related to accusations of illegal arms and drug trafficking. This operation has become an important step for the USA in the fight against international crime.

Reaction to the detention

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez confirmed Maduro's status as the only legitimate president of the country, indicating a political crisis in the region. Girkin also commented on this situation, noting that countries hoping for support from Russia did not receive it, while China, in his view, will draw serious conclusions from Trump's aggression.

Donald Trump, the President of the USA, confirmed that 'the dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, along with his wife, was captured and taken out of the country as a result of a special operation.'

This has caused a wide resonance in the international community, as events in Venezuela continue to remain on the global political agenda.

The detention of Nicolas Maduro emphasizes the escalation of the conflict between the USA and Venezuela, where political instability has persisted for several years. The lack of support from Russia for the Venezuelan government may change the balance of power in the region, as well as affect international relations, particularly between the USA and China. The situation in Venezuela remains under close scrutiny by the international community, which awaits further conflict resolutions and possible consequences for the country's population.
