Russian Navy Sets Sail for Venezuela
Neil Richard Leslie | September 22, 2008Four Russian warships have set sail for Venezuela from their home base of Severomorsk in the Arctic. The fleet, which includes the nuclear-powered cruiser Pyotr Veliky (Peter the Great), is expected to undertake joint naval operations with Venezuela this November, reports BBC. Russian Navy spokesman Igor Dygalo said the ships set sail at 1000 local time (0600 GMT), and would travel 15,000 nautical miles to reach their destination.
The fleet will follow in the wake of two Russian bombers that landed in Venezuela last week. The U.S. views the planned manoeuvres with suspicion, and sees Moscow's decision to create stronger ties with Venezuela as part of their worsening relations with the two countries.
