Venezuela remains caught in a power struggle between President Nicolas Maduro and self-declared Interim President Juan Guaidó.
The U.S. government believes Russia has sent a specialist military cybersecurity team to Venezuela in a bid to prop up beleaguered President Nicolas Maduro.
Arguing this makes Maduro an illegitimate dictator, 35-year-old Juan Guaidó—the leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly—used a clause in the national constitution to declare himself interim president until new fair elections could be held. As for Cuba, the White House has accused the regime in Havana of propping up the Maduro government. According to The Washington Post, the U.S. believes there are as many as 25,000 Cuban military and intelligence personnel working in the Venezuelan military and intelligence services, and even Maduro’s personal guard.
Reuters suggested the cybersecurity team could be tasked with surveillance of anti-Maduro elements and protection of the government’s cyber security infrastructure. Venezuela is currently wracked by mass power outages, which Maduro has claimed is being caused by American cyber attacks. Russia has also accused the U.S. of meddling in Venezuela to promote a coup against Maduro. On Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said American pressure would not change Moscow’s stance on Venezuela.
