“I have no idea of any Russian private military companies in Venezuela. This is another "duck", - quotes RIA Novosti diplomat.
Earlier, the media reported that the staff of the "Russian private military company" allegedly went to Venezuela, where they can support the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
At the same time, as indicated in the media, press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov stressed that the Kremlin does not have such information.
On January 23, Venezuelan Parliament Speaker Juan Guaido declared himself interim president.
As Maduro stated, the United States is “conducting an operation” in order to “put a puppet in power” with the help of a coup.
The Venezuelan Defense Ministry stressed that the army does not recognize the presidency of Guaido.
