translated from Spanish
Caracas / Cover photo: Presidential Press.- Journalist for The New York Times accredited in Caracas, Anatoly Kurmanaev , informed on Thursday that Vladimir Putin's spokesman assures that the Russian president "has no information" on any kind of humanitarian aid sent by that country to Venezuela.
"Putin's spokesman said today that he has no information about any Russian aid. I also find small Russian flags in curious containers, "Kurmanaev wrote on his Twitter account.
Nicolás Maduro celebrated the arrival in Venezuela of 7.5 tons of medicines, presumably from Russia. " To continue equipping our country, " he said from the Salón Sol del Perú in the Miraflores Palace, adding that they also received 108,428 units of medicines, surgical equipment and equipment to strengthen the health system.

The "little flags" bit is hysterical. Maduro's men allegedly discovered packages of drugs being smuggled INTO VENEZUELA FROM THE UNITED STATES. And how did they know it was from the vile "El Imperio"? These packages had tape that had US flag stickers all over them. The only thing missing was the documentation with a CIA time stamp and Duque's, Bolsonaro's and Trump's signature.
