A U.S. military operation against Venezuela has no legitimate basis as the South American country has posed no threat to the United States, Konstantin Kosachev, deputy speaker of Russia\u2019s Federation Council, said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to foreign media, \u201cWithout any doubt, Venezuela has created no threats to the United States neither military, nor humanitarian, nor criminal, nor drug-related,\u201d Kosachev wrote on his Telegram channel.<\/p>\n
He said that the current military operation, as well as actions taken against Venezuela in recent days and weeks, lacked any substantive grounds. \u201cTherefore, the current military operation, like the actions taken against Venezuela over recent days and weeks, has no substantive grounds,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kosachev stressed that the international order should be based on international law rather than on what he described as rules imposed by individual countries. He said international law had been clearly violated, warning that \u201can order established in this manner must not prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also expressed confidence that the majority of countries would distance themselves from the attack on Venezuela and condemn it, underscoring that unilateral actions undermine the foundations of the international system.<\/p>\n
The remarks reflect Moscow\u2019s continued opposition to what it describes as unlawful use of force and its insistence on adherence to international legal frameworks in resolving global disputes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
