Jan 3 (Reuters) - ⁠Venezuelan ⁠Vice ‍President Delcy Rodriguez is in Russia, ‍four sources familiar with her ​movements said on Saturday, ​after President Donald Trump said President Nicolas Maduro had been ​captured by U.S. forces after an attack ​on the country.

Delcy Rodriguez appeared in an audio ‌message on state television earlier in the ‌day, calling for proof of life of Maduro and ‍his wife Cilia, while Jorge Rodriguez ⁠has not appeared since the attack.
