MOSCOW, January 4. /TASS/. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev described the United States’ actions against Venezuela, including the seizure of leader Nicolas Maduro, as aggression and a breach of international law.
According to the senior Russian security official, Washington no longer has the formal right to criticize Moscow for any actions.
TASS has compiled key takeaways from Medvedev’s comments on the US operation in Venezuela in response to its questions.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro "has repeatedly said that the current US administration’s true purpose is to grab their oil and other fossils," Medvedev recalled. "And [US President Donald] Trump makes no secret of that," he noted.
Medvedev denounced the US actions against Venezuela as aggression and called them unlawful.
