In a twist that feels straight out of a political thriller, Russia’s Foreign Ministry has slammed reports that Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez landed in Moscow. The ministry called the rumors “fake news,” TASS reported on Saturday, Jan 3, 2026. 🤔
Earlier, Spanish news outlets 20 Minutos, The Objective and Vozpopuli claimed that, after a U.S. attack on Caracas, Rodriguez called in to an interview on state TV channel VTV from Moscow. 📞
But Cuban news agency Prensa Latina, citing Venezuela’s national press, insists Rodriguez is still in Caracas and never traveled abroad.
The conflicting stories come as Venezuela’s Supreme Court ordered on Saturday that Rodriguez assume the role of acting president after Nicolas Maduro was reportedly captured by U.S. forces. This unexpected power shift adds even more intrigue to the saga. 🔄
As rumors swirl, one thing’s clear: in today’s global news cycle, truth can be stranger than fiction. Stay tuned as we track the latest developments! 🌎🕵️♀️
