Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on November 2 that Russia maintains contractual obligations with Venezuela, according to an interview with TASS. “We are indeed in contact with our friends from Venezuela,” he said when addressing reports about Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s alleged request for Russian support amid tensions with the United States.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro had previously urged U.S. President Donald Trump to abandon military action against Caracas on October 24, emphasizing a call for “peace forever, without any insane war.” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova highlighted on October 30 that Russia remains committed to supporting Venezuela’s leadership in safeguarding national sovereignty and is prepared to address potential threats. She emphasized the两国’s ongoing collaboration “shoulder to shoulder.”
