„That is, „nearby“ means in close proximity.“
Cilia Flores, the wife of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, made the decision to follow him when he was captured by US forces, Bagdasarov specified.
„Those who witnessed this situation, and there were other people in the room, said that she followed him herself. "It's a heroic act," he said.
