Russia Reaffirms Support for Venezuela Amid Political Turmoil
Delcy Rodriguez, who previously served as Venezuela’s vice president, was sworn in on Monday as the nation’s interim leader.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry characterized the transition as evidence of Caracas’ resolve to “assure unity” and “mitigate the risks of a constitutional crisis.” Moscow reiterated its “unwavering solidarity with the Venezuelan people and Government.”
The ministry emphasized that Russia is prepared to extend all necessary assistance to Venezuela. “We firmly insist that Venezuela should have the guaranteed right to determine its destiny on its own, without any destructive interference from the outside,” the statement read, stressing that Latin America and the Caribbean “must remain a zone of peace.”
On Saturday, Venezuela’s Supreme Court directed Rodriguez, who has held the vice presidency since 2018, to assume the role of interim president.
