Russia ‘not threatening anyone’ in Venezuela: foreign ministry
MOSCOW, March 28, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Russia’s military presence in
Venezuela does not present a threat to anyone, Moscow said Thursday after US
President Donald Trump demanded that Russia remove its troops from the
crisis-stricken country.
“Russia is not threatening anyone unlike citizens in Washington,” foreign
ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told journalists after referring to
statements by White House officials.
