“Venezuelans voted for President Maduro, and our observers confirmed the legitimacy of his victory, albeit by a small margin,” Volodin wrote in a post on Telegram.

He added: “Venezuela elected its president and the authorities sought to find compromises and dialogue with the United States, which promised to lift sanctions if the Washington-backed opposition was allowed to participate in the elections.”

He said: “The elections were held under these conditions, but they did not achieve the result that Washington had counted on. The result is known: unrest in Caracas, and attempts to destabilize the country by the opposition fueled by the White House. The United States is engaging in these practices after losing its followers.”

He continued: “We must understand from what is happening in Venezuela that Washington is playing by its own rules, to maintain its hegemony and expand its influence. Any outcome other than the victory of its candidate is unacceptable to it.”

“Lies, provocations, double standards, pursuing goals through others, and interfering in the affairs of countries are integral methods of US policy,” he said.

The National Electoral Council declared Nicolas Maduro president-elect for the period 2025-2031, and according to the Electoral Council, he obtained 51% of the votes.

Protests erupted in Venezuela, and clashes began in Caracas between police and demonstrators, who began throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at security forces.

Beijing claims almost all of the South China Sea, a vital trade corridor, and its increasing deployment of ships and other methods to assert its claims in the disputed territories has alarmed states across the region and Washington.

Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed to “strengthen dialogue and cooperation to support maritime safety and security, the rule of law-based maritime order, including freedom of navigation and overflight, and security and unhindered trade,” said a joint statement after a summit in Tokyo meeting.

On Saturday, Japan announced that it will strengthen ties with Malaysia and allocate 400 million dollars. ¥2.6 million for warning and monitoring equipment.

Last month, Japan agreed to help the Philippines buy coast guard ships and supply a radar system, and the two countries are negotiating permission to deploy troops on each other’s territory.

Last week, Tokyo expressed serious concern over what it said were dangerous actions following a recent clash between Philippine and Chinese ships in which the Chinese ships fired water cannons.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in an interview with Japan’s public broadcaster NHK on Saturday that the situation in the South China Sea is becoming more and more complicated.

His office quoted him as saying that a more aggressive China was a real challenge to its Asian neighbors and that Manila would strengthen cooperation with Tokyo, Washington and other like-minded countries through joint exercises.
