DECLARATION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT
The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest possible terms the military aggression by the United States against Venezuela, while categorically reiterating Cuba’s absolute support and solidarity with the sister Bolivarian Republic and its government. It endorses the address delivered by Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and supports her demand that the Government of the United States provide proof of life of the constitutional President Nicolás Maduro Moros and Ms. Cilia Flores, as well as the determination of the Bolivarian and Chavista government and its people to reject the aggression and defend their independence and sovereignty.
This cowardly U.S. aggression constitutes a criminal act in violation of International Law and the Charter of the United Nations. It represents a dangerous escalation of the sustained campaign of war waged for years by the United States against that sister nation, intensified since September 2025 through aggressive naval deployments in the Caribbean Sea under false pretexts and baseless accusations lacking any evidence.
Cuba emphatically demands the immediate release by U.S. authorities of President Nicolás Maduro Moros and Ms. Cilia Flores.
This is a blatant imperialist and fascist aggression aimed at domination, seeking to revive U.S. hegemonic ambitions over Our America, rooted in the Monroe Doctrine, and pursuing unrestricted access to and control over Venezuela’s and the region’s natural resources. It also seeks to intimidate and subjugate the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The consequences of this irresponsible act remain to be seen. The Government of the United States, President Donald Trump, and his Secretary of State, together with aggressive elements hostile to Latin America and the Caribbean that have gained considerable political influence in that country, bear full responsibility for the deaths and the human and material damage already caused, as well as for any that may result from this aggression.
In January 2014, in Havana, the governments of the region, on behalf of their peoples, unanimously proclaimed Latin America and the Caribbean a Zone of Peace—an aspiration that today is under attack by the United States.
The international community cannot allow an aggression of this nature and gravity against a UN Member State to go unpunished, nor permit the abduction, through a military operation, of the legitimate and sitting president of a sovereign country without consequences. Venezuela is a peaceful nation that has not attacked the United States or any other country.
For that sister nation and for its people, we stand ready to give, as for Cuba, even our own blood.
The Revolutionary Government calls upon all governments, parliaments, social movements, and peoples of the world to condemn the U.S. military aggression against Venezuela and to confront this act of State terrorism that threatens international peace and security and seeks to impose a new doctrine of U.S. imperial domination worldwide, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean.
All nations of the region must remain vigilant, as the threat hangs over them all. In Cuba, our determination to struggle is firm and unwavering. There is only one decision: Homeland or Death.
We shall overcome!
Havana, 3 January 2026.
