“I thank you for all the support, both political and diplomatic, during the difficult moments we are experiencing,”
Maduro said in remarks before the two presidents met behind closed doors.
His Russian counterpart said that Russian government sees that Venezuela is undergoing a tough time.
‘There is the impression that you have nonetheless managed to establish some kind of contact with the political forces that oppose you,’
Vladimir Putin said.
