The Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Yván Gil, thanked his counterpart from the Russian Federation, Sergey Lavrov, for his statements in rejection of the theft of the Venezuelan oil tanker by the United States (USA).

“We deeply value the statements of the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, in relation to the lack of legal basis in the context of international law regarding the assault by the United States of a Venezuelan oil tanker,” Gil said through his Telegram channel.

On behalf of President Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan diplomat praised Russia's firm commitment “to respect the norms and principles that govern our international community, as well as to its demand that the U.S. government respond to this act of violation of our sovereignty.”
