On Monday, the Venezuelan Foreign Affairs Ministry denounced that the United States had illegally confiscated the plane used by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
“The Department of Justice announced the seizure of a Dassault Falcon 900EX aircraft, which was confiscated in the Dominican Republic and transferred to the Southern District of Florida at the request of the United States based on violations of U.S. export control laws and sanctions,” it said.
On Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the confiscation of the Venezuelan presidential plane and demanded its return to Caracas.
“We stand in solidarity with our Bolivarian friends in their legitimate demands to return what was stolen from the Venezuelan state,” the Russian diplomatic office said, noting that the excesses in the sanctions policy applied by Washington “have no limits.”
“Once again, there has been a total disregard for international legal norms,” it added, emphasizing that the United States has sent a new signal that it can appropriate the assets of other sovereign states.

On Tuesday, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega also showed his support for the Bolivarian nation after the arbitrary confiscation of a plane valued at US$13 million.
“In our Latin America, we are facing an onslaught from the U.S. empire, which wants to overthrow governments simply because they do not submit to it. Now we see how they have acted and continue to act against the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,” he said.
“The Venezuelan people want peace, but they want to turn it into a hell just to steal Venezuela’s oil… That has been the practice of the imperialists,” Ortega emphasized.
Evo Morales, the former president of Bolivia and leader of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS), also expressed his solidarity with the Venezuelan government and people.
“Once again, the U.S. steals a plane belonging to the Venezuelan people. They think they own everything, but the whole world is starting to realize that their power is weakening. We condemn this theft and express our solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution’s administration,” wrote the Indigenous leader.
