Caribbean on the brink of war; Putin sends weapons to Maduro – US prepares response
Venezuela has officially requested military assistance from Russia, including the repair of Sukhoi fighter jets, upgrades to radar systems, and the delivery of missile systems, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed on Friday.
Zakharova stated that Moscow is ready to respond to Caracas’s requests but simultaneously called on all parties to avoid further escalating tensions in the region.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s request to Russia comes after, according to Caracas, "growing threats from Washington."
The Venezuelan government has been warning for months about a significant increase in U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, which it views as a threat to its own security.
According to Caracas, the requested support includes technical maintenance of Russian Sukhoi fighter jets, modernization of existing radar capabilities, and procurement of new missile systems.
