“I think that, of course, they (Russia. - RT ) have a certain role - they can mitigate the situation, they can talk with friends and they can play a constructive role for a coordinated decision between Venezuelans,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Earlier, the Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro said that Russia has become the "most important pillar" of Venezuela in the field of military-technical cooperation.
On September 24, Maduro will pay an official visit to Russia, where he will meet with President Vladimir Putin.
