China And Russia Respond To U.S. Capture Of Maduro

[Conservative Angle]

​

The supposed allies of Venezuela have given their response to the United States’ capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Shortly after President Trump announced Nicolas Maduro was captured by U.S. special forces, both China and Russia issued statements condemning the U.S. actions.

In both Russia’s and China’s statements, the two countries claimed the U.S. violated international law.

Yahoo Finance gave direct quotes from a Beijing spokesperson:

China said it’s “deeply shocked” by the US’s military strikes on Venezuela and its capture of President Nicolas Maduro.

China “strongly condemns the US’s blatant use of force against a sovereign state and action against its president,” a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement late Saturday. “Such hegemonic acts of the US seriously violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty, and threaten peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China firmly opposes it.”

China the biggest buyer of oil from the South American country, as well as its largest creditor — is the latest in a string of global leftist nations including Brazil, Russia, Colombia, Mexico and Cuba that have denounced the US military action against Venezuela. In the run-up to Saturday’s strike, Beijing had offered its support to the Maduro regime following months of growing pressure from the Trump administration.

“We call on the US to abide by international law and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and stop violating other countries’ sovereignty and security,” the ministry in Beijing said.

We call on the U.S. to abide by international law and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and stop violating other countries’ sovereignty and security.

The Hill reported on Russia’s response:

Russia is offering stark criticism of the U.S. military attack on Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.

In response, Russia called for a full meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

“This morning, the United States carried out an act of armed aggression against Venezuela. This causes deep concern and condemnation,” Russia said in a statement from its Foreign Ministry.

“The pretexts cited to justify such actions are unfounded. Ideologized hostility has prevailed over practical pragmatism and over a willingness to build relations based on trust and predictability,” Russian officials wrote, nearly five years into the nation’s own war in Ukraine.

Russia, a key ally of the Maduro regime, said it was crucial to “prevent further escalation and to focus on finding a way out through dialogue.”

“We proceed from the understanding that all parties who may have claims against one another should seek solutions through dialogue-based approaches. We are ready to support them in this,” the ministry said.

“Latin America must remain a zone of peace, as it declared itself in 2014. Venezuela must be guaranteed the right to determine its own destiny without any destructive, especially military, interference from outside,” it wrote. “We reaffirm our solidarity with the Venezuelan people and our support for the course of its Bolivarian leadership aimed at defending the country’s national interests and sovereignty.”

In view of the confirmed reports about Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his spouse being in the US, we strongly urge the US leadership to reconsider their position & release the legitimately elected president of a sovereign country and his spousehttps://t.co/mZPc8wZEZ9 pic.twitter.com/9VSgpdeSnp
