Cuba strongly condemned US military action against Venezuela during a heated United Nations Security Council session, calling it a criminal act and a violation of international law and the UN Charter. Cuba’s UN representative described the operation as cowardly aggression and a dangerous escalation of long-standing pressure on Venezuela. The remarks followed US strikes and the capture of President Nicolas Maduro, prompting Caracas to declare a national emergency. While Washington insisted the move was a law enforcement operation, Russia, China, Colombia, and African nations voiced serious concerns. The incident triggered widespread condemnation across Latin America, BRICS countries, and beyond.
