A Russian warship arrived on Venezuela’s coast hours after Nicolás Maduro announced renewed talks between his government and the US ahead of a presidential election this month.
The frigate docked Tuesday in La Guaira, near Caracas, for a military salute, according to a Venezuelan official. It marked the second stop for the vessel in the Caribbean after a five-day visit in Cuba last month, alongside a nuclear submarine.
