"Russian UN representative Vassily Nebenzia said there was 'no justification for US crimes in Venezuela' as the UNSC held discussions on the US attack- and capture of president Nicolas Maduro on Monday. "Today, we are reaping the fruits of their irresponsibility and selectiveness in matters of adhering to international law norms, which they equated with with the so-called rules-based order," he added. "There is your order in all its glory, which horrifies even the staunchest believers." Nicolas Maduro was grabbed by US forces alongside First Lady Cilia Flores in the early hours of Saturday, after strikes on Caracas and other areas - and held, according to DC on 'narcoterrorism' charges. Caracas declared a national emergency, accusing Washington of attempting to "seize Venezuela’s strategic resources, particularly its oil and minerals." The attack drew widespread condemnation worldwide, including from Latin America, as well as from BRICS nations such as Russia and China and around the world. The EU and European nations called for 'international law' to be respected but avoided directly condemning the US actions. "
