Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba.
As the Revolutionary Government warned on September 18, the escalation of actions by the United States government to justify a military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has continued and intensified.
The extraordinary buildup of military assets in the Southern Caribbean, the recent illegal incursions of U.S. fighter jets into a Venezuelan Flight Information Region, the repeated destruction of civilian vessels and the killing of their crews, and the announcement that such military actions would extend to land areas, are compounded by the notification that the United States is engaged in a non-international armed conflict against illegal combatants.
This unusual notification, which seeks to legitimize and justify broader military actions, could serve as a pretext to carry out a military operation against Venezuela, in violation of the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and International Law.
A direct military aggression against Venezuela would trigger an armed conflict with incalculable consequences for peace, security, and stability in Our America.
We reiterate Cuba’s firm and unwavering support for the Bolivarian and Chavista government of Venezuela and for the Popular and Military Unity of the Venezuelan people. Military aggression must be stopped to preserve peace in Latin America and the Caribbean.
