"The government of Nicolas Maduro on Thursday requested that a meeting of the United Nations Security Council be convened urgently in the event of an armed attack by the United States against Venezuela, which Caracas believes could happen very soon. This was stated in a letter sent by the Bolivarian government to the representative of this body, currently chaired by Russia, a Chavista ally."
"This letter, based on proven, reasonable, and objective information, confirms that an armed attack by the United States of America against Venezuela could occur very soon, Caracas warned in a statement shared by Foreign Minister Yvan Gil and addressed to Russia's permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, the current president of the Security Council under the rotation system. Venezuela is calling for a determination of the existence of a threat to peace and for recommendations to halt ongoing U.S. aggression plans."

The Bolivarian government sent a letter to the Security Council president, currently Russia's representative, calling for a determination of the existence of a threat to peace and for recommendations to halt ongoing U.S. aggression plans. Tensions have risen for eight weeks after the U.S. deployed naval forces in the Caribbean under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking. President Maduro has conducted continuous military exercises and called for mass militia enlistment. Chavismo denounces the imminence of an attack and demands Security Council mediation.
