Colombia
“Alerting the whole world that they have attacked Venezuela,” Colombian President Gustavo Petro wrote in a series of statements posted on the social media platform X.

“The Republic of Colombia reiterates its conviction that peace, respect for international law, and the protection of life and human dignity must prevail over any form of armed confrontation,” Petro said.

In a separate post, he said Colombia “rejects the aggression against the sovereignty of Venezuela and of Latin America”.

Cuba
President Miguel Diaz-Canel issued a sharply worded condemnation on social media, accusing Washington of carrying out a “criminal attack” against Venezuela and calling for an urgent international response.

In a post on X, Diaz-Canel said Cuba’s so-called “zone of peace” was being “brutally assaulted”, describing the US action as “state terrorism” directed not only at the Venezuelan people but at “Our America” more broadly.

He ended the statement with the revolutionary slogan: “Homeland or Death, We Shall Overcome.”

In a statement posted by various Cuban embassies around the world, Havana said it “denounces the US military attack against Venezuela”.

The statement also “demands an urgent reaction from the international community”, describing the attack as “state terrorism”.

Chile
In a statement posted on X, Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font expressed his government’s “concern and condemnation” of the US military actions in Venezuela.

“We call for seeking a peaceful solution to the serious crisis affecting the country,” he said.

“Chile reaffirms its commitment to basic principles of International Law, such as the prohibition of the use of force, non-intervention, the peaceful settlement of international disputes, and the territorial integrity of States. The Venezuelan crisis must be resolved through dialogue and the support of multilateralism, and not through violence or foreign interference.”

Brazil
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva condemned the US bombings and capture of Maduro as crossing “an unacceptable line”.

“Attacking countries, in flagrant violation of international law, is the first step toward a world of violence, chaos, and instability, where the law of the strongest prevails over multilateralism,” Lula wrote on X.

He added that the US attacks recall the “worst moments of interference” in Latin American politics, threatening peace across the region. “The international community, through the United Nations, needs to respond vigorously to this episode,” he said.

those condemning the U.S. invasion and capture have privately discussed among themselves any other methods of removing Maduro if they considered him illegitimate?

Kind of ironic that someone who tried to take over a Presidency illegitimately by force would actually invade and capture a President who apparently succeeded in taking over a Presidency by force. (I haven't followed it closely so I don't know the details.)
