USA: no Russian military in Venezuela

0
Recently we Reportedas some media outlets disseminated false information as if the military from Russia were in Venezuela. And so, it became known that on this occasion at the hearing in the House of Representatives (lower house of the Congress (Parliament) of the United States), the US Special Representative for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, spoke.



Abrams said bluntly that he did not see any signs of the presence of Russian military in Venezuela. In addition, Abrams admitted that the US Administration has so far no reason for military intervention in Venezuela. And he clarified that the United States did not increase its military presence in neighboring Colombia.

You know that there were facts involving military aircraft, but there are no signs of the presence of their troops

- he stressed.

At the same time, to the clarifying question whether Russia could use elements of a hybrid war in Venezuela, he replied that "such a danger always exists." However, what was meant by “elements of a hybrid war” is not clear, so anything fits this. Even statements Foreign Ministries of Russia and Venezuela that Caracas did not ask and does not ask for military help can be safely written in the "elements of a hybrid war."

It should be recalled that in December 2018 Venezuela was visited by Russian airborne forces: two strategic missile carriers Tu-160, heavy military transport An-124 and long-range Il-62. They conducted joint exercises with the Venezuelan Air Force, after which they returned to Russia, to the places of their permanent deployment.
