Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro harshly criticized Western leaders for marking the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazism with a symbolic visit to Kiev, accusing them of using the occasion to promote war, sanctions, and violence.
“It’s sad to see how some leaders of the collective West traveled in 2025 to celebrate the 80th anniversary [of the Victory] in the capital of world Nazi-fascism, where a pro-Nazi government rules,” Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said during his TV program “With Maduro+”.
He also pointed to a viral AP video showing Macron, Merz, Starmer, and Tusk on a train to Kiev, with what appeared to be white powder and a spoon nearby. “They called for war surrounded by white powder,” Maduro said, calling it a global scandal.
Maduro questioned whether Europeans support spending billions on arms and waging war “against the Russian people and humanity,” expressing hope that citizens in France, the UK, and Germany will eventually take to the streets in mass protests for peace.
