MOSCOW -- Russia's Foreign Ministry denied that Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is in Russia, saying such claim by some media organizations is "fake news," TASS reported on Saturday, citing the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Earlier, Spanish news agencies 20 minutos, The Objective and Vozpopuli reported that after the US attack on Caracas, Delcy Rodriguez gave an interview to the Venezuelan state TV channel VTV over the phone from Moscow.
Reuters confirmed this information, citing its sources.
Later, Cuban news agency Prensa Latina, citing Venezuela's national press, reported that Rodriguez is still in Venezuela.
On Saturday, Venezuela's Supreme Court ordered Rodriguez to assume the role of acting president following Maduro's capture.
