Russia Calls for "Guaranteed Sovereign Development" in Latin America, Caribbean After Venezuela's Regime Change
Russia condemned the US military operation that killed 80 people and captured Maduro, calling for sovereignty, peace, and adherence to the UN Charter in Latin America.
- On January 7, 2026 the Russian Foreign Ministry called for guaranteed sovereign development across Latin America and the Caribbean, urging the region to remain a "zone of peace".
- The US launched a large-scale strike in Caracas on Saturday that left at least 80 people killed and led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, prompting Delcy Rodríguez to be sworn in on January 5.
- Moscow's statement reaffirmed "unwavering solidarity" with the Venezuelan people and government and called for de-escalation through dialogue and respect for international law, primarily the United Nations Charter.
