Venezuela has expressed its willingness to accept Russian support in managing rising tensions with Washington.
Venezuela is dangerously raising the geopolitical temperature in Latin America, declaring itself ready to welcome Russian mediation in its dialogue with the United States.
As Caracas remains under a state of military alert and Washington strengthens its naval presence in the Caribbean, the prospect of Russian involvement has reignited fears of a new “Cold Front” in the Western Hemisphere.
Venezuela has further boosted its military readiness by activating the “Independence 200” plan in three additional states.
The program includes heightened surveillance and control over key strategic zones amid Caracas’s growing concerns about possible U.S. actions, as the United States has increased its military forces in the Caribbean in recent weeks.
Venezuela’s ambassador to Russia, Jesus Rafael Salazar Velazquez, emphasized that his country is open to receiving Russian assistance in managing its tensions with Washington:
“Russia has always been a friendly nation that desires peace and progress for Venezuela.
Any help from Russia will be greatly appreciated and warmly received by our country and its authorities,” he said.
Moscow signals readiness to get involved
The Russian Embassy in Caracas confirmed that Moscow would consider any request from its partners with due attention and respect.
The embassy also condemned recent U.S. Air Force raids on ships in international waters near Venezuela, warning that such escalating actions could have far-reaching consequences for the entire region.
Russia reaffirmed its support for Venezuela’s leadership, noting that bilateral trade and economic cooperation continue to grow steadily: “We express our full support and solidarity with the leadership and people of Venezuela in the current situation and remain ready for continued close cooperation within the framework of our strategic bilateral relationship,” the embassy said.
Dismissing drug trafficking allegations
Responding to allegations linking Venezuela to drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, American political scientist Peter Kuznick told Izvestia that there is no evidence to support such claims:
“Venezuela neither produces nor exports fentanyl and is not considered a major player in Latin American drug trafficking,” Kuznick stated.
This development highlights Caracas’s strategic pivot toward Moscow as it navigates mounting tensions with Washington, signaling a potential Russian role as mediator in future U.S.–Venezuela relations.
