Russia has promised that military equipment given to Venezuela will not be used to attack Colombia, destabilize Latin America or end up in the hands of illegal armed groups, Colombia's Foreign Minister and Vice President Marta Lucia Ramirez said.
"We need there not to be even the smallest risk that military cooperation which exists between Russia and Venezuela, and has for a long time, could eventually, because of carelessness or whatever reason, lead to any Russian military equipment being in the hands of illegal armed groups which are present on the border," Ramirez told journalists Monday night after a meeting with Russian ambassador Nikolay Tavdumadze and other officials.
Molano, citing intelligence sources, said there were troop movements opposite Colombia's Arauca province, which has seen fierce fighting between National Liberation Army guerillas and former FARC rebels for control of the drugs trade. Tavdumadze, also speaking after the meeting, said the situation had been resolved and conversations would continue through diplomatic channels.
