Due to its importance, we bring you the text in full:
Statement by the Cuban government:
It is urgent to prevent a military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
The Revolutionary Government denounces the escalation of actions by the United States government to justify a military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The buildup and increase of military resources and personnel in the Caribbean Sea, the use of force to attack civilian vessels and murder their crews, and the unjustified interception and detention of a ship, in violation of international norms, confirm the hostile and irresponsible nature of the ongoing operation.
Added to this is the dissemination of psychological warfare messages by the United States government, attempting to legitimize these actions in the public eye under the crude pretext that Venezuela represents a threat to the national security of the United States and the well-being of its citizens.
The US Secretary of State, along with allied congressmen and senators, also responsible for the current escalation of genocide in Gaza, are attempting to impose their interests by force in Venezuela, which is unjustifiable and dangerous.
The true objective of these actions is to seize Venezuela’s oil and resources.
Cuba has repeatedly warned that the deployment of United States military forces in the Caribbean Sea in recent weeks constitutes an act of provocation and seeks to trigger a military conflict that would force the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
A direct military aggression against Venezuela would have incalculable consequences for the peace, stability, and security of Our America.
A government cannot be allowed to resort to the threat or use of force in violation of the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.
It is urgent to separate lies from reality.
Cuba urges international mobilization to prevent aggression and preserve Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace proclaimed by its heads of state and government.
