The Venezuelan government, led by President Nicolás Maduro, has strongly condemned the arrival and potential operation of the FPSO One Guyana oil vessel in the disputed maritime area known as the Essequibo, specifically in the Stabroek Block. Venezuela considers this action illegal and a violation of international law, as the maritime zone remains pending delimitation and Venezuela asserts historical and legitimate rights over it. The Venezuelan administration has denounced the move as a maneuver promoted by the Guyanese government in alliance with ExxonMobil, emphasizing the breach of fundamental principles of international law. Maduro's government has warned of a firm defense in response to the vessel's presence. Additionally, it was noted that Maduro recently boarded the Russian Navy spy ship Admiral Vladimirsky while it was in port, with the vessel currently off the coast of Colombia.

Venezuela is intensifying its territorial claims over the Essequibo region, which is currently within the borders of neighboring Guyana. The situation has escalated as Venezuela plans to hold elections next month in a newly created state that encompasses parts of Essequibo. This move is seen against a backdrop of rising tensions fueled by oil interests, authoritarian governance, and historical grievances stemming from a colonial-era decision in 1899. The Crisis Group has highlighted these developments, noting that the dispute is rooted in both geopolitical and historical contexts. Additionally, recent calls for legitimate and observed elections in Venezuela have emerged from U.S. officials, reflecting ongoing international concerns regarding the electoral process in the country.
