Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez speaks during a meeting in Caracas, Venezuela, June 23, 2025. /VCG

Russia's Foreign Ministry has denied that Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez is in Russia, saying the claim by some media organizations is "fake news," TASS reported on Saturday, citing the ministry.

Earlier, Spanish news agencies such as 20 Minutos, The Objective and Vozpopuli reported that after the U.S. attack on Caracas, Rodriguez gave an interview to the Venezuelan state TV channel VTV over the phone from Moscow.

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 that Rodriguez assume the role of acting president following Nicolas Maduro's capture by U.S. forces.
