Yoo, tell us more.
Well Connyoung, a day after violent clashes with government forces, protests are being held by both government opponents and Maduro supporters in Caracas.
Juan Guaido, the opposition leader has called for support from protesters in various locations across the country after Maduro said he had stopped an "attempted coup" on Tuesday.
Demonstrations by Maduro supporters are largely formed by those from working class backgrounds.
Speaking to a crowd in Caracas, Guaido admitted he did not have enough military defectors on his side to declare victory and added the opposition group is not asking the armed forces for a confrontation but just to be on the side of the people.
In January, Guaido declared himself Venezuela's interim leader and has been recognized by more than 50 countries, including the U.S.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that the U.S. would prefer a peaceful transition of government in Venezuela but the American "military action is possible" if that's what's required.
But Maduro, backed by Russia, is refusing to go.
Russia is one of Venezuela's largest creditors and has been helping the economy by heavily investing in the country's oil sector.
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov warned Pompeo during a phone call on Wednesday that attempts to oust Maduro were "fraught with the severest consequences".
He also said Washington's support for Guaido is a "gross violation of international law".
