The Story about the interest in the events in Venezuela in the middle of day on March 16, 2019
The preliminary comments.
An ordinary citizen is interested in simple questions about the situation in Venezuela:
1. Whether work of the subway in Caracas is restored?
2. Whether the electric power supply is restored? If yes, that approximately for how many percent (personal estimates of eyewitnesses or "scientific" estimates)?
3. Whether water supply is restored? If yes, that approximately for how many percent (personal estimates of eyewitnesses or "scientific" estimates)?
4. Whether the night "economic activity" of certain vigorous persons stopped? What level of safety of "ordinary people"?
5. How stable are telecommunication services?
6. Is it possible to buy food, drinking water, gasoline at affordable prices and without queues?

"We are talking about a comprehensive remote impact on the management and control of the main power distribution stations..., - said Zakharova. - Certainly that all operation algorithms and its weak spots were well-known to direct organizers of aggression. On them and customers of diversion responsibility for death of people, including in the hospitals which were left without electricity lies".
"We hope that this responsibility will take adjudication shape sooner or later, - she told. - Anticipating possible questions in connection with the recent statement of the president Maduro (with a request for the help of the UN, the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, Iran and Cuba in investigation of the attack on the power supply system - a comment of TASS), I would like to say at once that in case of receiving an official request for the assistance of our specialists, it will be considered very carefully.""

The comments.
1. "...after a massive power outage in the country, which was the result of sabotage. This was announced on Friday, the President of the Republic Nicolas Maduro..."
"Russia considers a diversion from abroad the power outage in most States of Venezuela"...
It seems that "sabotage" [from "sabots" - wooden shoes] and "a diversion [special operations of a special forces] (from abroad)" are different concepts. Who to believe?
2. The legislation is in a state of change. So the most reasonable thing is to refrain from expressing opinions about official statements.
As for questions about
A Metro work,
An Electrosupply,
A Water supply,
A Provision of essential goods at reasonable prices and without queues,
A Public and personal security,
the these questions remained questions.
We will refrain from expressing opinions on official statements.
Is it possible to give advice? Who knows? How will it" turn"?...
That if in the official statement to quote the statement attributed to Talleyrand: "Language is given to the person to hide the thoughts"? It would confirm competence.
"It's hard to find a black cat in a dark room..."
