The Russians officially express their outrage at the 'act of armed aggression' [by the United States in relation to Venezuela](https://defence24.pl/sily-zbrojne/stan-wyjatkowy-w-wenezueli-nocny-atak-usa-w-trakcie). However, the Kremlin has not issued a message on this substance (because Putin has been silent since his fresh Year's speech), but the Russian Ministry of abroad Affairs has (and twice). Interestingly, in their messages, the Russians point to the request to be guided by the alleged "business pragmatism" and criticize "ideological hostility".
