“We did not approve of the presence of Russian warships in the country, as this would be a serious violation of the sovereignty of the country,” Guaido told Union Radio.

In addition, he said that by inviting foreign warships, the authorities are trying to show the world that the current government has international support.

Earlier, Russian and Venezuelan defense ministers Sergei Shoigu and Vladimir Padrino Lopez concluded an agreement on visits of warships to Venezuelan and Russian ports.
