The head of the White House officially confirmed that the Marinera tanker was heading to the Venezuelan region accompanied by Russian ships.
Despite this, the presence of the latter did not change anything, as the Russians were afraid to enter into a confrontation with the American military.
You know, we intercepted a Russian cargo ship that was going there. It had an escort of Russian ships, but they decided not to contact us. And we took this ship. It was unloading oil.
