“The United States is not against Russian aid, because it cannot stop it. So they say they do not mind, knowing full well that nothing depends on their opinion. The second point is that the States do not recognize the Maduro government and say that Russia should not help through it, but in some other way. Moscow rejects such demands and recognizes Maduro as legitimate, ”said Mirzayan.

Nevertheless, according to the expert, Russian assistance should be carefully thought out.

Earlier, the US special envoy for Venezuela said that the United States is not against Russia providing humanitarian aid to Venezuela, but not through the current authorities headed by President Nicolas Maduro.
