Why didn't Russia aid Maduro
Asked 10 hours ago
Answer
Russia did not aid Maduro during his ouster due to logistical challenges, fear of escalating conflict with the U.S., and a calculation that the risks outweighed the benefits. Russian defense systems and promises proved ineffective, and officials did not expect or prepare for a U.S. attack. The loss is seen as symbolic, damaging Russia's influence, but with limited immediate economic impact.
