He said that the event discussed the presence of the Russian military in Venezuela.
“We talked about this in the context of other efforts of Russia around the world - in Ukraine, the ongoing malicious activities of Russia in Syria, in Venezuela, (in the context of what) they did in the Sea of Azov. In each case, we do everything we can to give a collective response. In the case of Venezuela, the United States and their response are also ready, ”Rom Novosti quoted Pompeo.
Earlier in the White House, countries outside the Western Hemisphere were warned against "deploying military forces in Venezuela."

In the Kremlin, commenting on Trump’s words, they noted that they did not believe that Moscow’s bilateral relations "should be disturbed by third countries."
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, emphasized that the finding of specialists from Russia in Venezuela is regulated by an agreement on military-technical cooperation between the states.
