Russia speaks out, demanding the US to release the person.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated on January 3: "Given that it has been confirmed that the President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife are currently in the United States, we strongly urge the US side to re-examine its position and release this legally elected president of a sovereign country and his spouse."

Russia is deeply involved in the protracted war in Ukraine and is unable to invest substantial power in Latin America. This is similar to its situation in Syria, where although it has repeatedly expressed support for relevant countries, it has been constrained by strategic priorities, only able to maintain verbal support without being able to form an effective counterbalance. This statement on the Venezuela issue is ultimately just a diplomatic gesture, lacking actual power support, and is unlikely to change the course of events.
