Last week we told you how Bolivia was poised to be the next country to receive special Russian assistance.
Their gift from Russia will be helicopters, the AP reports, to fight drugs and develop energy resources.
Bolivian President Evo Morales is in Moscow, which is the first time a Bolivian leader has visited Russia since the two countries established relations in 1945.
Details are scarce on the amount of assistance, but a top arms sales official, Mikhail Dmitriyev, suggested a helicopter number smaller than 20.
He added that Venezuela also is interested in other Russian weapons.
In addition, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said his country seeks a "strategic" energy project until 2030, according to Novosti.
