The Venezuelan authorities fully support the efforts of Russian President Vladimir Putin to protect peace in their country and region against the background of the recognition of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced this on the air of Venezolana de Televisión.
Maduro denied the plans of military aggression from Venezuela, allegedly brewing from NATO.
“Does the world think that Putin will sit back and not take action to protect his people? Therefore, Venezuela expresses its full support to President Vladimir Putin in his efforts to protect peace in Russia, in the region," the president stressed on the TV channel.
Maduro sent a message that "Venezuela declares its full support for Putin in protecting the peace of Russia, in the courageous defense of his people and Motherland."
In addition, the Venezuelan head called for defeating global manipulative campaigns against Russia and its president.
“With truth comes the bold Bolivarian Revolution, opening the way for the world. We do not allow ourselves to be seduced by lies repeated a thousand times,” Maduro said.
On February 21, Putin signed decrees recognizing the sovereignty of the self-proclaimed DNR and LNR. There were also signed agreements on cooperation and mutual assistance between Russia and the republics. In this regard, the West announced the introduction of a number of sanctions against Russia.
Earlier, the President of Venezuela announced military cooperation with Russia.
