Washington could not fail to react to Moscow’s powerful move Francis Chung – Pool via CNP / Keystone Press Agency / Global Look Press Tensions around Venezuela are rising, but Moscow did not stay aside, making a special move that the US could not ignore, reports “Bloknot.Ru”. A Russian Il-76TD transport aircraft has reportedly already arrived in the country, and the cargo on board has attracted more attention than the aircraft itself and its origin. The Telegram channel “Voenny Osvedomitel” reports that the plane arrived with unknown contents on board, and the route looks unusual. According to FlightRadar24, after departing from the Russian Federation, the plane made stops in Armenia, Algeria, Morocco, Senegal, and Mauritania, after which it headed to its final destination – South America. All this clearly indicates a well-planned transfer, not simple logistics, experts are sure. Recall that “Aviacon Zitotrans” has been under American sanctions for several years, all because of the transportation of cargo for Russian defense enterprises. Among other things, the United States accuses the company of international supplies of equipment to Venezuela. Washington is outraged by the company’s work with countries “undesirable” for the States. There is no doubt that the company’s aircraft in Venezuela will cause a strong reaction in the White House. In addition, the States have quite seriously strengthened their military presence in the area of Venezuela. The Venezuelan authorities are sure that such preparation is being conducted for a ground invasion of the country. At the same time, Trump himself admitted that CIA operations are taking place in Venezuela with his approval. As for the Russian plane, there is no specific data on what was on board. Experts suggest that the board brought air defense equipment, military-technical assistance, elements of electronic defense systems, and, possibly, humanitarian cargo. Moscow has clearly made it clear that it will not leave its ally alone with such a powerful enemy as the United States. Now, any attempt by the United States to show force against Venezuela will be directly associated with the risk of collision with Russian interests.
