The UN Rapporteur sent to investigate the human rights conditions & purported humanitarian "crisis" in Venezuela had this recommendation:
There's no need to use the "band-aid" of humanitarian assistance and force its entry into the country. Simply unblock the shipments of food and medicine already destined for Venezuela , and unfreeze the Venezuelan assets being illegally held in Western financial institutions and there will be no lack of basic necessities in the country.

The Russian government warned Friday that the United States and its allies from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) of planning to deliver arms to the Venezuelan opposition.
“We have evidence that U.S. companies and their NATO allies are working on the issue of acquiring a large batch of weapons and ammunition in an Eastern European country for their subsequent transfer to Venezuelan opposition forces,” the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said.
“The batch will reportedly include heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, portable missile launchers and ammunition for light weapons and artillery systems. So this is what they mean when they talk about delivering humanitarian aid.”
