MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Friday that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was due in Moscow soon for talks.
Russia has been one of Maduro’s biggest backers in the face of what it has described as unacceptable U.S. efforts to undermine him, providing loans and help for Venezuela’s military and oil industry.
