Reuters Propaganda Damages Russia-Venezuela Relations

February 22, 2019

They are not tactical errors, false steps or mere clumsiness: the flurry of false news from Reuters regarding the oil issue between Venezuela and Russia fits perfectly in the framework of the most frontal escalation of global corporations against Venezuela.

This is the continuation of a media strategy that seeks, through friction, to achieve an attrition in Russian-Venezuelan relations and in the public perception of the support that the Eurasian giant has offered to the Bolivarian Republic.

What is certain is that on January 28, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions against PDVSA that implied the freezing of 7 billion dollars and the blocking of all payments made by US companies that buy Venezuelan oil.

On February 5, the agency in question alluded in a news item to the statements made by Rosneft, the Russian oil and gas company with the highest production.
