Russia has begun evacuating the families of its diplomats stationed in Venezuela. The decision was made in parallel with the increasing geopolitical tensions in the region and the rising tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela.
The evacuations, which primarily include women and children, were initiated after Russian officials described the situation in Venezuela as having a "very grim tone" from an intelligence source.
These evacuations indicate growing concerns about stability in the country as the Trump administration tightens its pressure on President Nicolas Maduro's government, which has been ongoing for four months.
STATEMENT FROM THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the evacuation decision taken for the safety of the diplomat families. The ministry stated that this step is solely related to the safety of the families and that the diplomatic representatives will continue their duties.
TENSIONS IN THE REGION HAVE INCREASED
Recent military and economic tensions surrounding Venezuela have played a role in the decision to evacuate. The U.S. military presence and sanctions in the region closely monitor the diplomatic and strategic relations between Caracas and Moscow.
FIRST TAKEN TO SAFE AREAS
It has been reported that the evacuated families are first taken to safe areas, and plans are being prepared for Russia to bring back its diplomats and their families to the country soon. Experts emphasize that this step will affect geopolitical stability in Venezuela and the U.S.-Russia rivalry.
