On January 8, Vasily Nebenzia addressed an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting regarding Venezuela, delivering remarks that highlighted Moscow’s growing discontent with U.S. interventions.
Nebenzia described the current situation as a return to an era of lawlessness and power domination, emphasizing Russia’s close ties with Venezuela while condemning American actions as a direct challenge to its sphere of influence. The Russian diplomat specifically cited violations of international law and armed aggression that resulted in dozens of deaths.
In contrast, representatives from France and Great Britain were reported by observers to adopt restrained language, expressing concern about inadvertently offending U.S. interests.
