3 January 2026 - Unilateral attack against Venezuela
Volt Cyprus condemns the United States’ unilateral attack on Venezuela as a clear breach of international law and a violation of the country’s sovereignty. Such actions raise serious concerns about civilian casualties and represent an unnecessary and dangerous escalation of violence by the United States.
Military force cannot be a substitute for diplomacy. Any concerns Washington may have with Caracas should be addressed through dialogue and multilateral engagement in international fora such as the United Nations, where peaceful solutions can and must be pursued.
Volt Cyprus is also deeply concerned by claims made by the United States President Donald J Trump regarding the alleged abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and their extraction from Venezuela, which, if true, would constitute a further grave violation of international law and national sovereignty.
Volt condemns all breaches of international law, irrespective of the countries involved.
