Chavez anuncia posible visita de flota rusa en Venezuela
The Associated Press

CARACAS --
El presidente Hugo Chavez expreso la esperanza de que una flota de Rusia viaje a Venezuela y dijo que estaban en marcha las gestiones para la visita.

Moscu no ha divulgado por el momento la intencion de enviar una flota a Venezuela.

Although the intention has not been yet confirmed by the Russians, hugo vowed his hopes for the Russian fleet to visit chavezuela.

Chavez, que dirige un gobierno socialista, dijo a la television estatal la noche del jueves que habia abordado el posible viaje de la flota con delegados rusos que lo visitaron en Caracas y que habia hablado por telefono con el primer ministro de Rusia, Vladimir Putin.

Chavez, que tiene relaciones estrechas con Moscu, afirmo que espera la materializacion de la visita de la flota rusa.

Los delegados rusos estan interesados en la idea, afirmo.

Russia assured none of the two long reach bombers sent to chavezuela would carry active war ammo nor nuclear arsenal or of any other kind, on them. They are just to test fly over neutral waters.

The United States Treasury Department reported on Friday that it has frozen the assets that two top Venezuelan officials and one former minister have under US jurisdiction and prohibited them from conducting financial transactions "for materially assisting the narcotics trafficking activities of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)," Colombia's largest rebel group, according to a press release posted on the Treasury web's site.


TheSanctions imposed by the US Treasury Department affect explicitly two senior Venezuelan government officials: Hugo Armando Carvajal Barrios and Henry de Jesus Rangel Silva, the head of the Directorate of Intelligence, Security and Prevention Services (Disip), as well as former minister of Interior and Justice, Ramon Rodriguez Chacin, who resigned to the post this week.

The Northern Russian Fleet confirmed on Monday the navy exercises that will be conducted along with Venezuela. Russian military officers confirmed, through a note, that the nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great, which carries both conventional and nuclear missiles, will be one of the warships to sail Venezuelan waters.

"Russia is ready to support Venezuela in the development of nuclear energy with peaceful purposes and we already have a commission working on it," Chavez said. "We are interested in developing nuclear energy."

Putin offered Chavez assistance in developing nuclear energy during a meeting in the Russian city of Novo-Ogaryovo last week. The prime minister did not specify what kind of cooperation he could offer Venezuela, but Russia is aggressively promoting itself as a builder of nuclear power plants in developing nations.

Russia has ramped up its cooperation with Venezuela since last month's war with Georgia, which badly damaged Moscow's already strained ties with the West, particularly the United States.
