Venezuelan foreign minister confirms strengthening bilateral relations with Russia in a meeting with Moscow\u2019s ambassador<\/p>\n
The minister wrote on his Telegram channel: \u201cWe held a meeting with the Russian ambassador to our country, Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, during which we discussed bilateral relations and solidarity between our peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n
The United States used unprecedented weapons in Venezuela<\/p>\n
The minister noted that his government expressed its gratitude to Russia for defending the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter, \u201cfirst and foremost, non-interference and the rejection of the use of force in violation of state sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n
The minister also highlighted Russia\u2019s support for Venezuela following the United States\u2019 abduction of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, considering this act illegal under international law.<\/p>\n
The Venezuelan foreign minister added: \u201cWe reaffirmed our strong strategic alliance, which focuses on political, economic, and diplomatic cooperation within the framework of the high-level intergovernmental commission and the strategic partnership and cooperation agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is worth noting that on January 3, the United States launched a large-scale attack on Venezuela, resulting in the arrest of Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores and their transfer to New York.<\/p>\n
U.S. authorities accuse Maduro and his wife of involvement in \u201cnarco-terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n
For his part, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States would reap hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars from Venezuelan oil sales. Trump did not specify a precise timeframe for the duration of U.S. control over Venezuela, but said it would be \u201cmuch longer\u201d than a year.<\/p>\n
