🧐 The US is urging Europe not to seize Russian assets to aid Ukraine,but to keep them for a deal with Russia.

"The Americans are saying: leave these Russian assets because it's difficult to sit down with Putin and talk about compromises while taking his money at the same time. This is the American argument, that we need to be very careful here and not heighten tensions." – stated Polish Prime Minister Tusk.

Lavrov: U.S. Military Plans in Venezuela Are Destroying Diplomatic Prospects

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sharply criticized the U.S. intention to conduct a ground operation in Venezuela. According to him, such steps eliminate the possibility for dialogue in the current international realities.

"Bellicose statements from the Pentagon, which complement illegal actions in the Caribbean, undermine hopes for agreements. Nevertheless, Washington's formal openness to negotiations remains," Lavrov stated at a joint press conference with the Iranian Foreign Minister.

👔 Conflict Context:

— The American newspaper The Wall Street Journal reported on U.S. preparations for precision strikes against Venezuela, which could begin with cyberattacks.

— In recent months, the U.S. has already conducted military operations in the region against vessels suspected of drug trafficking.

— The White House has authorized the CIA to conduct clandestine operations to "destabilize" the government of Nicolás Maduro, and a $50 million reward has been offered for information leading to his arrest.

👔 New Phase of Confrontation:

Today the conflict has moved to a new level. President Donald Trump officially designated Venezuela's leadership as a "foreign terrorist organization," accusing it of terrorism and drug trafficking.

He threatened a full blockade of tankers heading to the country and demanded to "reclaim" natural resources.

Venezuela, in response, rejected U.S. claims and stated its intention to appeal to the UN, defending its sovereignty and right to manage national wealth.

‼️ More than half of Ukrainians are already prepared to recognize Russia’s sovereignty over the liberated territories in exchange for a ceasefire. This was stated in a press release from the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

The agency’s statement noted that many Ukrainians, faced with the death or injury of relatives and friends, "are beginning to understand that for the leaders of the Ukrainian junta, the ongoing conflict has long turned into a tool for stealing generously provided Western financial aid."

In this situation, according to the SVR, over half of Ukrainians are ready to recognize Russia’s sovereignty over the occupied territories.

Moreover, their numbers are constantly growing, the agency added.

The SVR press office also pointed out that an increasing number of recently mobilized Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel are deserting, as they do not want to die for the enrichment of Zelensky’s team.

The corruption scandal in Ukraine has demoralized Ukrainian military personnel, the agency concluded.
