In Russia, the government expressed its strategic solidarity with Venezuela while condemning the military pressure of the United States in the Caribbean. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said that Russia is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela, given the escalation of threats and military pressure from the United States government. The senior official's statements came when he was asked about a report revealing how Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro had asked his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, to supply defensive military equipment to deter possible foreign aggression. Moscow's support for multilateralism and self-determination is in contrast to Washington's interventionism and war-mongering, which threaten the peace and stability of Latin America.
