The European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, has reacted following the US attack on Venezuela, stating that the EU is closely monitoring developments on the ground.
In a post on X, Kallas said she had spoken with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the EU Ambassador in Caracas, underlining the bloc’s ongoing engagement and vigilance.
“I spoke with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and our Ambassador in Caracas. The EU is closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela,” Kallas wrote.
The EU’s top diplomat reiterated that the European Union has consistently stated that Nicolás Maduro lacks democratic legitimacy and has advocated for a peaceful political transition in the country.
“The EU has repeatedly declared that Mr. Maduro lacks legitimacy and has supported a peaceful transition. In all circumstances, international law and the UN Charter must be respected. We call for restraint,” Kallas added.
She further emphasized that the safety of EU citizens in Venezuela remains the Union’s top priority, amid rising regional and international tensions.
“The security of EU citizens in the country is our primary concern,” Kallas concluded.
