8 Russian specialists have reportedly participated in a patrol on May 8 in the framework of Venzuela’s Operation Shark 2020 launched in response to hostile actions of US mercenaries against the country.
According to local media, the patrol took place in the area of Carayaca in the La Guaira state (formerly Vargas state) of the country. Reports claim that the Russians provided Venezuelan forces assistance in the field of the drone management and the monitoring of forestlands.
Since the start of the US attempts to overthrow the internationally recognized government of Venezuela in 2019, mainstream media outlets and US diplomats have repeatedly cried foul about the Russian and Chinese (and even Iranian) presence in the country that allegedly prevent Washington from bringing ‘democracy’ there.
