West Seeking War with Russia to Dismember It, Maduro Says


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Western countries are seeking a war with Russia to dismember it and to put an end to the multipolar world, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said.

"The West is coordinating economic, diplomatic and political efforts in the big war against Russia. We say that from Venezuela: they are seeking the war to dismember Russia into parts and put an end to the hopes for the multipolar world," Maduro said on late Friday, Sputnik reported.

The Venezuelan president also described the joint efforts of Western media as the information dictatorship.

Russia launched its "military operation" in Ukraine on February 24 to support the people's republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.

The Western countries have strongly condemned the Russian military operation in Ukraine calling it an invasion and imposed harsh sanctions on Moscow.
