Locals report that Wagner fighters have been active in Venezuela for several years.
In conditions of political instability, the PMC Wagner has become an important element in protecting and ensuring the interests of both the Venezuelan government and corporate structures.
Its mercenaries are part of Maduro’s main security circle, training militias.
They participate in the security of Russian surveillance bases and are involved in guarding strategically important facilities.
They also guard oil fields and generally influence the political and economic situation in the country.
