Venezuela's top diplomat said Moscow may send more military personnel to the leftist-led Latin American country as his U.S. and Russian counterparts discussed the crisis.
Venezuela has said that Russia may send more military personnel there as the United States seeks to overthrow the Latin American state's leftist-led government.
One such U.S. official who warned that"military action is possible" was Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who met with his Russian counterpart on Monday on the sidelines of the Arctic Council summit in Finland. Speaking to reporters on the flight there, Pompeo confirmed that the agenda for his talks with Lavrov included Venezuela, a major issue that has again divided the world's top two military powers.
Other nations, such as Russia, have continued to back Maduro, and Moscow has continued to send personnel to Caracas to fulfill agreements signed between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maduro's predecessor, the late Hugo Chávez, who survived a 2002 coup attempt reportedly linked to the U.S. Last Tuesday, Maduro managed to weather a push out of office after Guaidó called for the military to defect.
"No difference," Pompeo told the outlet."The president has said—I think he, in fact, tweeted—that the Russians must leave Venezuela, and we have asked every nation that is interfering with Venezuelan democracy." Following his talks with Pompeo, Lavrov told reporters that any military action in Venezuela would lead to"catastrophe," and claimed Pompeo understood this despite the increasingly bellicose rhetoric coming from the Trump administration.
