'Flagrant Violation of International Law': Lavrov on US Operation in Venezuela
16:46 14.01.2026 (Updated: 16:51 14.01.2026) Russia's position on Venezuela remains unchanged and is based on the territorial integrity of states, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.
"Our position remains unchanged. This position is fundamental, based on the principles of respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, whose governments naturally represent the interests of the entire population. And Venezuela was precisely such a state, therefore our fundamental assessments of the
illegal operation carried out by the United States remain valid, they are shared by the overwhelming majority of states of the global majority, the countries of the global South, the global East," Lavrov told a press conference after talks with Minister of International Relations and Trade of Namibia Selma Ashipala-Musavyi.
Washington's actions in Venezuela violate international law, the foreign minister added.
"I can not predict what will happen next. But at this stage, we see that the Venezuelan leadership is defending its national priorities and defending its national sovereignty and the need to participate in international relations as an equal, sovereign, and independent state. I sincerely hope that everyone interested in relations with Venezuela, including the United States, will reciprocate and respect these principles, which, in my opinion, should be universal," Lavrov said.
At the same time, Russia remains committed to
agreements with Venezuela, the minister also said.
