Russia expresses concern over the blockade imposed by Trump on Venezuela, warning that American actions may have unpredictable consequences.

The Russian ministry reacted to President Trump's decision to impose a blockade on the sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, emphasizing that it hopes the American administration will avoid a fatal mistake. These measures come in the context of the recent confiscation of a sanctioned oil tanker by the U.S., and several oil ships have remained stranded in Venezuelan waters to avoid seizure.

Russia reaffirmed its solidarity with Venezuela, warning that American actions could have "unpredictable consequences for the entire Western Hemisphere." Moscow also expressed hope for a normalization of dialogue between Caracas and Washington.

American pressure on Maduro's government has intensified, including an expanded military presence in the region, with attacks on ships suspected of drug trafficking, resulting in loss of human lives.
