Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated that under Maduro’s leadership, Venezuela is a “strategic partner” of Moscow, assuring that he intends to expand bilateral cooperation in all spheres, especially in energy.

“Russia supports the Venezuelan government’s efforts to stabilize the internal situation and protect national sovereignty,” he said. “We condemn the illegal sanctions against the republic,” he added, according to the TASS news agency.

The Russian leader’s statements are consistent with previous statements made by Venezuela.

In July, the dictatorship’s Foreign Minister Carlos Faría condemned from Moscow the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and its allies for its invasion of Ukraine, and also criticized the supply of military equipment to reinforce the Ukrainian army.
