America carried out a massive attack in Venezuela on Saturday (January 03, 2026). The US Army arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. According to the US Foreign Secretary, a criminal trial will be conducted against him in America. On the other hand, Russia got angry over this action of America and on the other hand, the European Union distanced itself from the matter. Many countries around the world, including Russia and Iran, strongly criticized the American attack and called it a ‘blatant violation’ of the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Russia has expressed its anger over this action of America. The Russian Foreign Ministry described the US action as ‘very worrying’ and condemnable and said, ‘The excuses used to justify such actions are useless. Ideological enmity has won over practical business-like thinking and the desire to build trust and pre-arranged relationships.
Latin America should remain a region of peace: Russia
Russia stressed that all partners who have grievances against each other should find a solution through dialogue and stop further escalation. The statement further said, ‘Latin America must remain the same peaceful region that it described itself as in 2014, and Venezuela must have the right to determine its own destiny without any harmful outside interference, let alone military.’
Russia further said that we reaffirm our solidarity with the Venezuelan people and our support for their Bolivarian leadership path, which is aimed at safeguarding the country’s national interests and sovereignty.
We condemn this action of America: China
China’s Foreign Ministry has said that it is shocked by the airstrike taken by America against a sovereign country and the action taken against its President. Also strongly condemns this action of US. China said, ‘Such hegemonic actions of the US seriously violate international law and Venezuela’s sovereignty. Also, there is a threat to peace and security in Latin America and the Caribbean region. China strongly opposes this.
The Foreign Ministry said, ‘We call on the US to adhere to the purposes and principles of international law and the UN Charter and to stop violating the sovereignty and security of other countries.’
What did Cuba say on America’s military action?
News agency Xinhua reported that Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel also condemned America’s ‘criminal attack’ against Venezuela on Saturday and demanded an immediate response from the international community.
In a social media post, President Canales said that Latin America is being brutally attacked. He called it state terrorism against the brave people of Venezuela and our America. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez also condemned the attack and said the bombings and military action in Caracas and other areas of the country were acts of cowardice against a country that has not attacked the United States or any other country.
America’s action against the principles of UN Charter: Iran
Iran’s ministry also strongly condemned the US military attack on Venezuela, calling the attack an “act of aggression” and a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and basic principles of international law.
Iran reaffirmed Venezuela’s right to defend its national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and right to self-determination, and urged the international community to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by immediately stopping the US attack on the country.
What was the reaction of the European Union to American action?
Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy and vice-president of the European Commission, said, ‘I have spoken to Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio and our ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela. The EU has repeatedly said Maduro lacks legitimacy and has defended a peaceful transition. In all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be respected. We appeal for patience. The safety of EU citizens in the country is our biggest priority.
America’s MP criticized Trump
Condemning Trump’s move, American leader Jim McGovern wrote, ‘Without seeking permission from Congress and despite most Americans being against military action, Trump has launched a wrongful, illegal attack on Venezuela. He says we don’t have enough money for healthcare for Americans, but somehow we have unlimited funds for war?
British MP surrounds Trump
Another British MP, Jeremy Corbyn, strongly criticized Trump’s action and said, ‘America has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is an open attempt to gain control over Venezuela’s natural resources. This is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk and should be condemned by everyone who believes in sovereignty and international law.
What is Spain’s reaction?
Santiago Abascal, president of Spain’s VOX party, wrote, ‘Today the world is a little more free. We should be happy for this and support the restoration of democracy in Venezuela. We will work for this with our colleagues from the Madrid Forum. On the contrary, Pedro Sanchez (PM of Spain) will be very upset. Maduro’s fall is a bigger blow to the Sanchista mafia than the arrest of Abalos and Cerdán.
British MP Zara Sultana said, ‘Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves and this is no coincidence. This is America’s open imperialism. An illegal attack on Caracas aimed at removing an independent government and plundering its resources. Starmer’s Labor government should clearly condemn this. Solidarity with the Venezuelan people.
Spain’s Health Minister wrote on the social media platform X, ‘A unilateral military attack to violate the independence of any country is wrong, whether it is Palestine, Ukraine or Venezuela. We must immediately return to a world based on international law and rules, dialogue and cooperation.
