Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on January 28 that Ukraine needs greater security guarantees and that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not afraid of European countries, while calling on US President Donald Trump to support Ukraine.
In an interview with Fox News, President Zelensky emphasized: "We want him (President Donald Trump) to stand on the side of justice, on the side of Ukraine. Mr. Putin is not afraid of Europe."
President Zelensky added that Ukraine cannot recognize Russia's occupation, but the country prioritizes a diplomatic solution.
Meanwhile, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yvan Gil on the same day called US Secretary of State Marco Rubio an enemy of Caracas and accused Mr. Rubio of trying to strip Venezuela of its sovereignty over the disputed territory with Guyana.
On Telegram, Foreign Minister Gil stated: "Marco Rubio, an enemy of our country, as Secretary of State has continued to demonstrate an unhealthy obsession with harming Venezuela. Now he is trying to support the delusions of the Government of Guyana, which seeks to deprive us of our long-held rights."
Foreign Minister Yvan Gil said the Guyana government must sit down at the negotiating table with Venezuela to maintain peace in the region.
The US State Department said on January 27, Secretary of State Rubio had talks with Guyana President Irfaan Ali, in which he expressed strong support for Guyana's territorial integrity.
The oil and mineral-rich Essequibo region has long been a subject of dispute between Venezuela and Guyana. Venezuela became independent from Spain in 1845, with the Essequibo recognized as part of its territory.
However, in 1899, the United Kingdom filed and won a case recognizing Essequibo as part of then-British Guyana. Guyana cited the 1899 ruling in a 2018 case at the International Court of Justice against Venezuela to reaffirm its claim to the disputed territory.
