Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro yesterday expressed his firm support for Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine in a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, according to the Kremlin.
“Nicolás Maduro expressed his strong support for Russia’s decisive actions and condemned the destabilising activities of the United States and NATO,” the official statement said.
The Venezuelan president also emphasized “the importance of countering the campaign of lies and disinformation launched by Western countries.”
During the conversation, which took place at the initiative of the Venezuelan side, Putin shared with Maduro his vision of the development of events around Ukraine and emphasized that the Russian objective is to protect the civilian population of Donbas and achieve recognition of the people’s republics of Donetsk and Luhansk on the part of Kiev, adds the note.
Putin also mentioned among Russia’s objectives Ukraine’s recognition of Russian sovereignty over the Crimean peninsula, annexed in 2014, the demilitarisation and denazification of the neighbouring country, as well as guarantees of its non-nuclear and neutral status with respect to NATO.
Both presidents also addressed issues of bilateral strategic association and the implementation of joint projects.
It was agreed to continue contacts at different levels, the statement concludes.
Meanwhile, Russian forces escalated their attacks on crowded urban areas Tuesday, bombarding the central square in Ukraine’s second-biggest city and Kyiv’s main TV tower in what the country’s president called a blatant campaign of terror.

If Putin can invade Ukraine, the USA should go for kinetic regime change in Venezuela. Howdja like them apples, Niokki?
