Former German diplomat and former president of the Munich Security Conference Wolfgang Ischinger expressed his opinion on social network X that the US military operation against Venezuela essentially canceled all Western claims against Russia on the Ukraine issue. “If the United States is now intervening in Venezuela – without a UN mandate – then the argument that Russia should never have intervened in Ukraine without appealing to the UN Security Council loses its international political and legal validity. Doesn't it?” – says the publication. Not long ago, US President Donald Trump said that after capturing Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the US would participate in solving the problem of the future of the Latin American republic. On January 3, the United States Armed Forces launched a series of attacks on the Venezuelan capital and military installations in neighboring Caracas. President Donald Trump has announced the arrest of the leader of the South American republic, Nicolas Maduro. Military observer Gazeta.Ru Mikhail Khodarenok explains the actions of the US military, analyzes the mistakes of the Venezuelan government and makes predictions about the further development of the armed conflict.
