Moscow, January 3 (Xinhua) – Russia is extremely alarmed by reports of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife being evacuated from Venezuela and calls on US authorities to immediately clarify the situation.

“We are extremely alarmed by reports that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were forcibly removed from the country as a result of today’s US aggression,” the statement said.
