According to Lopez, during the negotiations between the Venezuelan and Russian presidents, Nicolas Maduro and Vladimir Putin, "many questions arose in the military sphere."
He explained that we are talking, in particular, about issues related to the deepening of cooperation in the maintenance of equipment supplied from Russia to Venezuela.
“These are ground-based systems, air systems. And we came to the conclusion that we needed to upgrade them and update the existing systems, ”he said at a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
Earlier, Putin, during a meeting with Maduro, condemned attempts to change the political situation in Venezuela by force.
