Moscow expects Washington to make an official statement on a potential troop deployment to Colombia, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
She posted a photo of US National Security Adviser John Bolton at a press briefing, where reporters saw him holding a notepad with a handwritten note that read “5,000 troops to Colombia.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman pointed out that attempts to destabilize the situation in Venezuela were coming from Colombia. “You may ask, what about non-interference in the domestic affairs of others – from elections to cyber security, which is what the collective West has been so concerned about in recent years. This is how it is,” she concluded.
