The executive vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, accused the Human Rights Council of the United Nations (UN), based in Geneva, of promoting “euphoric hatred and intolerance against Russia.”
On his Twitter account, Rodríguez reacted this Tuesday to the video about the moment in which ambassadors left the session of the Human Rights Council when the virtual intervention of the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, began.
“In the common house of human rights, they euphorically exercise and promote hatred and intolerance against Russia. They are the same ones responsible for the current crisis in Ukraine,” the executive vice president wrote on her Twitter account.
“They are the same ones that beat NATO’s war drums,” Rodríguez said, adding that Venezuela joined “in promoting dialogue for peace.”
During the day on Tuesday, the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, held a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
In the call, Maduro “expressed his strong support for Russia”, “condemned the destabilizing activities” of the US and NATO, while “stressing the importance of countering the campaign of lies and disinformation” carried out by the West. .
As European countries intensify blockades of Russian media as part of the imposed sanctions, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Felix Plasencia expressed his solidarity with RT and Sputnik.
“From Venezuela we express our solidarity with @ActualidadRT and @SputnikInt, media outlets that face EU censorship [Unión Europea]who are determined to mold the vision of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine to their benefit,” Plasencia wrote on his Twitter account.
Likewise, Plasencia reiterated Caracas’s support for “all the efforts of the Russian government to provide security to its people, in the face of the aggressions and defamations promoted from Washington.” In a trill, the Venezuelan foreign minister reiterated the total willingness of the Maduro Administration to “continue developing and deepening the Russia-Venezuela strategic alliance.”
