«Breaking News» Russia denies sending 400 military 'mercenaries' to Venezuela

Russia has denied sending 'mercenaries' to Venezuela as the country's Moscow-backed President Nicolas Maduro battles to hold on to power. 

The Kremlin has faced claims that up to 400 private military contractors had travelled to South America to shore up Maduro's weakening grip on the country. 

But Russia's government, which backs Maduro and has previously supplied tanks to Venezuela, today denied the claims. 

Maduro is facing a challenge from opposition leader Juan Guaido who last week declared himself interim President.

Washington has recognised Guaido's claim to power and Europe has threatened to follow suit if Maduro does not call fresh elections.  

But Russia, along with China, Iran and Turkey, has backed Maduro against what they regard as a coup attempt.  

A self-proclaimed Cossack leader close to army veterans had said a private military contractors group recently returned from Gabon. 

The Russian ambassador to Caracas also dismissed reports of Russian mercenaries in Venezuela. 

The group had 'urgently' got together '400 people' to send to Caracas via Cuba to assist Maduro, he claimed.  

Asked whether Russian mercenaries were in Venezuela, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded: 'No of course not.' 

Maduro is facing a challenge to his authority from opposition leader Juan Guaido (pictured at a Mass in Caracas on Sunday) who last week declared himself interim President

Today Maduro appeared at a military exercise in the state of Carabobo where he called for 'union, discipline and cohesion' to defeat what he called an 'attempted coup d'etat.' 

Rejecting the call for new elections, Maduro said: 'Venezuela is not tied to Europe. This is complete insolence.' 

The military has so far remained largely loyal to Maduro but opposition leader Guaido has tried to persuade them to switch sides. 

Earlier Venezuela's military attache to Washington Jose Luis Silva broke ranks with Maduro and urged his 'brothers in the military' to bcak Guaido.  

The crisis has erupted after Maduro was sworn in for a second term following a disputed election victory last year.   

Pope Francis, winding up a trip to Panama, said Sunday he was praying that 'a just and peaceful solution is reached to overcome the crisis, respecting human rights.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
