Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is now condemning the United States for an “unacceptable encroachment on the sovereignty of an independent state” following reports that Nicolás Maduro was removed from Venezuela.
The irony would be laughable if Russia were not, at this very moment, killing civilians every day in its own illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, a war defined precisely by the destruction of another country’s sovereignty.

We are extremely alarmed by reports that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were forcibly removed from the country during today’s aggressive actions by the United States.
We urge clarification of this situation immediately. Such actions, if they actually took place, constitute an unacceptable encroachment on the sovereignty of an independent state, respect for which is a key principle of international law.
