In the event of increased US pressure, Caracas and Moscow may increase military cooperation, “the port infrastructure is here.” This was announced on Saturday, January 22, by Russian Ambassador to Venezuela Sergei Melik-Bagdasarov.

Melik-Bagdasarov also noted that Caracas could find for Moscow not only a political form of support, but also a military-technical one.
As the diplomat said, the forms of interaction can be different. He stressed that Venezuela has a developed port infrastructure and everything you need.
“There are also deep-water ports here, there are also civilian ports, there are various bases of the Venezuelan navy,” he added on the air of the Solovyov Live YouTube channel.
The Russian ambassador also explained that the deployment of Russian military bases in Venezuela is impossible according to the constitution of the Latin American republic. However, Russian military specialists continue to work in Venezuela, increasing its defense capability.
