Diplomat Roman Bezsmertnyi stated this on Espreso TV."Despite the long distance between Kyiv and Caracas, this issue is much closer to us than any other currently happening in the world. I'll explain why. Because, in fact, after drug trafficking, and second - Maduro, the third and key, in my opinion, is oil. It's important to remember that at one time, Hugo Chavez, by nationalizing the entire hydrocarbon industry, effectively confiscated it from American businesses. This should always be remembered," he stated.Bezsmertnyi added that in this case, it should also be recalled that Nobel laureate Maria Corina Machado clearly stated that, first, the Venezuelan people can only be liberated with Trump's help."Not the United States of America, she said with Trump's help. And second, as a result of this step, it will be necessary to restore justice and return property to its rightful owners. It is clear that in this case, there is a threefold task that Donald Trump will talk about. However, it also has this key oil moment, because Maduro, along with Russia and Iran, are currently forming a gray and black market for hydrocarbons in the world. As is known, Venezuela has the largest oil reserves. It is the number one country in terms of oil reserves. And so if you asked me, what is the most important thing here? First, second, or third, then undoubtedly the third is the most important," the diplomat noted.In his opinion, the third (oil) cannot be achieved without the second, without removing Maduro."And to do that, a fight against drug trafficking is declared. Although everyone understands perfectly well. And there are already dozens of proofs, reports written, including for Donald Trump. Drugs enter the United States of America not from the Caribbean basin, not from the Indian Ocean, but from the Pacific Ocean, from a completely different side. There are corresponding references, volumes, characteristics, and so on," Bezsmertnyi emphasized.He spoke about whether an armed conflict or war could occur in the near future."Here I have huge doubts. Trump would prefer to act as he did with Iran. Struck and hid. He is very wary, or to be precise, he is afraid of an open armed conflict with Venezuela. Especially since experts show him and inform him that currently, 4.5 million reservists and popular militia are mobilized in Venezuela. In fact, preparations for war are underway daily in an open mode," the diplomat believes.He noted that the country is divided into 284 fronts, where issues related to war and countering the aggressor are being worked out."Next. Maduro appealed to China, Russia, Iran, Cuba for help. It should also be noted that the Venezuelan army is equipped with Iranian drones. Second. Russian equipment is in service - air defense and missile defense. And including Igla man-portable air-defense systems. There is also the Buk system. As well as other systems currently used in Russia. The plane that arrived in Caracas, what did it bring? Military consultants, ammunition, and spare parts for those weapon components that Russia once supplied to Venezuela," Bezsmertnyi noted. The diplomat emphasized that for Putin and Maduro, as close shadow bourgeois and oligarchs in the world, this indicates and serves to show that, obviously, they will closely unite their forces."And this means that, of course, they will not resist the American army. And it will not be able to conduct large-scale battles against Venezuela. However, they can cause a lot of trouble. Because on the one hand, the situation is already maximally tense, and on the other hand, currently, if we take this basin, then starting from Florida, Panama, Puerto Rico, and all the Caribbean, destroyers and the same aircraft carrier Gerald Ford, American, arriving from the European continent, as it was based in Croatia, are already concentrated in the water space. Or these are cruisers that approached from the Pacific Ocean. As well as ground-based military units and air forces. Well, in particular, in Puerto Rico and Panama, old, already abandoned airfields for US military equipment are being restored," he said.According to Bezsmertnyi, the situation is gradually escalating."It is clear that for Washington, for Trump, it would be best if the power of the street entered the game. But the opposition, thanks to Maduro's dictatorial regime, is practically all abroad. Let's say, the opposition leaders, except for Maria Machado herself. Therefore, in this regard, it is obviously necessary to predict several probable scenarios. I do not rule out the beginning of military actions between the United States and Venezuela," the diplomat concluded.On October 24, Nicolas Maduro addressed U.S. President Donald Trump in English with a call for "peace forever." This comes against the backdrop of the deployment of American troops in the Caribbean.The WP later reported: Maduro wrote a letter to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin asking for military assistance due to pressure from the United States. In particular, a Russian Il-76 arrived in the country's capital.On October 31, Trump denied that he had decided to strike military targets in Venezuela, as media previously reported.On November 4, Trump did not rule out the possibility of U.S. strikes on Venezuelan soil but doubted the possibility of war.
