Russia: Without the release of the presidential couple all other actions are completely hypothetical

The Russian Government maintains its demand for the release of the president, Nicolás Maduro and the first lady, Cilia Flores, who were kidnapped on January 3 after a military attack by the United States.

‎El Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergey Ryabkov, noted that the release of the presidential couple is “the first step, without which all other actions are completely hypothetical.”

‎ “But since that (the kidnapping) happened, it is necessary to insist on the release of the Venezuelan president,” he added.

‎Asimismo, it was asked: “What will be the subsequent provision? It's a separate issue. And now there's simply no reason to talk about it.”
