Kremlin says US not to 'worry' about Russia-Venezuela ties.
Russia said Thursday its troops will stay in Venezuela"for as long as needed" and urged the United States not to worry about Moscow's ties with a traditional ally.
"We don't think that third countries should worry about our bilateral ties," said Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He said that Russia was sending military equipment and experts to Venezuela under existing contracts. "They are involved in the implementation of agreements in the sphere of military and technical cooperation," said ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, adding they would remain in the country"for as long as needed".
Venezuela's military attache in Moscow also said Thursday that Russian troops were in the country under an agreement on military and technical cooperation and not to carry out a military operation. "We are absolutely not talking about Russia's military presence to carry out military operations," he added.
