“You know, these are messages from the field of conspirology. In the same place on the spot everywhere is visible the guard in Venezuela, who protects Maduro, just think logically yourself. It simply does not need to respond to the "duck" - said Sands.

In response to a request to comment on reports that the plane of the special flight unit "Russia" allegedly flew to South America, Peskov said that they did not have such information in the Kremlin.

On January 27, Peskov on Russia 1 TV channel denied media reports about sending employees of Russian private military companies to Venezuela to protect President Nicolas Maduro.

Earlier, the speaker of the Venezuelan Parliament, Juan Guaido, declared himself the interim head of state. Washington therefore called on Maduro to hand over power to him.

In turn, the Venezuelan president accused the United States of intending to carry out a coup d'etat.

Maduro said that the authorities of the country will fight the coup d'etat to the bitter end.
