Venezuela: Vice President Rodriguez flew to Russia after Maduro's detention.

According to ТСН: After a special operation by the US in Venezuela, during which President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were detained, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez headed to Russia.

According to information from several sources, the Reuters agency reports on the movement of the official.

According to the constitution of Venezuela, if Maduro is unable to perform his duties, power passes to Delcy Rodriguez.

The brother of the Vice President, Jorge Rodriguez, who is the head of the National Assembly (parliament), remained in the capital - Caracas. This is confirmed by data from three sources who know about his whereabouts.

Earlier, Delcy Rodriguez appealed to Washington for evidence that Maduro and his wife Cilia are alive, through an audio message on state television.

Jorge Rodriguez has not appeared in public since the start of the US operation.

Amid reports of the possible presence of the Vice President of Venezuela in Moscow, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement calling on the US to free Maduro and his wife.

“In light of confirmed reports that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife are in the United States, we firmly urge the American leadership to reconsider its position and release the legitimately elected president of a sovereign country and his wife.”

It is also noted that Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores have been charged with conspiracy to engage in drug terrorism, trafficking cocaine, and possession of weapons and explosives that could be used against the United States.

These events open a new chapter in international relations between Venezuela and the US, as well as highlight the importance of Russia's positions in the region. The movement of Delcy Rodriguez to Moscow may indicate new diplomatic steps by Venezuela in the face of an unclear political situation. At the same time, rumors about the whereabouts of Maduro and his wife remain in the spotlight both in Venezuela and beyond.
