Moscow keeps holding its stance firmly regarding the support of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.

"The position of Kremlin remains unchanged," Peskov told journalists commenting on a recent report from Bloomberg that Moscow allegedly started doubting the necessity of keep providing its support for the Venezuelan president.

Bloomberg reported on Wednesday citing its unnamed sources close to the Kremlin that "Russia is starting to show signs of doubt about his ability to survive an opposition challenge." According to the agency, "While Moscow hasn’t given up its public backing of Maduro, it increasingly recognizes that the disastrous state of Venezuela’s economy is inexorably draining what remains of his public support," while "the army’s reluctance to crack down on its own citizens limits his ability to use force to crush the challenge to his rule."

Asked by journalists whether the Kremlin was preparing to help with the evacuation of Maduro from Venezuela, Peskov said "No. This issue has neither been discussed nor raised."
