Russia Calls on U.S. to Free Maduro, His Wife
(MENAFN) Russia called Saturday for the immediate release of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife following their military capture, urging diplomatic resolution while condemning what Moscow termed armed aggression.
Russia's Foreign Ministry responded to what it described as "confirmed reports" placing Maduro and his spouse on U.S. territory, pressing American authorities to "reconsider this position" and free the "legally elected president of a sovereign country and his wife."
Moscow emphasized creating pathways for dialogue-based solutions to outstanding disputes between Washington and Caracas.
In additional declarations, Russia denounced U.S. strikes against Venezuela as "deeply concerning and condemnable," asserting the military action constituted armed aggression in breach of international legal frameworks.
The ministry endorsed demands for an emergency UN Security Council session, cautioning against further escalation while insisting Latin America must preserve its status as a peaceful zone.
U.S. President Donald Trump had earlier announced Washington executed a "large scale strike" against Venezuela, confirming authorities captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, before transporting them from the nation.
Trump stated the operation proceeded "in conjunction with US law enforcement."
Speaking later to media, he indicated Washington might assume a direct role in determining Venezuela's trajectory following Maduro's removal.
The U.S., which has linked Maduro to narcotics trafficking networks, formally indicted both him and his wife on numerous criminal counts including narco-terrorism charges. Venezuela's government has rejected the allegations.
Vice President Delcy Rodriguez reported Caracas remained uninformed regarding Maduro's location, demanding evidence proving he remained alive.
