Russia’s foreign ministry said on Thursday that the United States was reviving piracy and banditry in the Caribbean Sea by blockading Venezuela and said it hoped that US President Donald Trump’s pragmatism would help avoid a disaster.
“Today we are witnessing complete lawlessness in the Caribbean Sea, where long-forgotten theft of other people’s property, namely piracy, and banditry, are being revived,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said of the situation.
She added that Moscow "consistently advocates de-escalation of the current situation, maintaining relations of trust and predictability. It is important to prevent the development of events in a destructive scenario. And we hope that the pragmatism and rationality inherent in US President Trump will make it possible to find mutually acceptable solutions for the parties within the framework of international legal norms."
The Russian diplomat reiterated Moscow's support for "the efforts of the government of Nicolas Maduro aimed at protecting sovereignty and national interests and maintaining the stable and secure development of his country."

Condenamos enérgicamente estos fenómenos y llamamos a la estabilidad y al orden jurídico en el ámbito marítimo", sostuvo.
