Russian Ambassador to Venezuela Sergey Malik-Bagdasarov told Venezuelan TV yesterday that Moscow will consider Caracas’s request for assistance if it is made. “We support Venezuela now and have supported it in the past, regardless of whether it is attacked. We will continue to support sovereign Venezuela and its government,” he said in response to a question about Russia’s potential support for Venezuela in the event of a U.S. attack, reported TASS. “As for methods of support, let’s be realistic. At this stage, our partners primarily expect political support, and we provide it in all respects. If any other form of support is required, it will be considered,” Malik-Bagdasarov emphasized.
Malik-Bagdasarov noted that the strategic partnership agreement between the two countries marks a transition to a new level of relations. “Of course, this agreement also mentions our military-technical cooperation and ensuring regional and global security. It is a large, comprehensive agreement. It is open; anyone can read it and understand the depth and breadth of our strategic partnership with Venezuela,” the diplomat noted.
