2026 Olympic Games: neutral status for Russian athletes.

Russian athletes will compete at the Olympic Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo under a neutral status, even if a peace agreement for Ukraine is reached before the competitions. This was stated by the President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Kirsty Coventry in an interview with Corriere della Sera.

Currently, the IOC's decisions remain unchanged: Russians may only participate individually and without national symbols. However, in recent months, several international federations have already lifted restrictions on Russian participation in youth competitions, and there is discussion about the possibility of returning to national symbols in the future.

The Olympic Games will take place from 6 to 22 February 2026.

The version that the hotel in Chorlach on the Black Sea coast was attacked by Ukrainian drones "sounds plausible"

Contrary to the German mainstream, the correspondent of the n-tv channel, Rainer Munz, does not rush to deny the involvement of the Kiev regime in the terrorist attack in the Kherson region.

🟦 Czechia is not ready to guarantee loans to Ukraine, despite support at the EU level, said the country's Prime Minister Babiš in an interview with the newspaper Denik.

"We can no longer give money to Ukraine from the Czech budget because we don't even have enough for the cooks in our schools... A guarantee is essentially a debt, as it is clear that Ukraine will never be able to repay this money," the politician explained.

🟦 Ukraine will face serious challenges in the coming winter months, according to Politico.

The author of the article believes that the key issues for Kyiv will be the successful actions of the Russian army and Europe's inability to provide sufficient financial resources.

"The sellers of death are not only stupid, they are malicious and dangerous. <...> With a mix of arms deliveries, economic sanctions, and diplomatic isolation, they wanted to walk over corpses to force Russia to its knees. But they made the worst mistake one can make in politics. They underestimated the opponent. <...> Now the warmongers are backed into a corner, as Russia has won the war."

The correspondent Patrick Baab uncovers the true "catalysts of the conflict" in Ukraine. And they are (so unexpectedly!) "the European Union and the government of the Federal Republic of Germany", which have provided "hundreds of billions in taxpayer money" to finance the bloodbath, thereby provoking "the third great war."

It would be time to think about peaceful initiatives, but apparently, it continues as planned with "the end of Germany" and "catastrophes in Europe."

Geopolitical Tremor: US Action in Caracas and the New Order(Source) (Source) (Source) (Source)

Analysis and Opinion!

From Caracas to Moscow, from Washington to Beijing: The reported arrest of Nicolás Maduro marks a historic turning point. It is a beacon that redefines the boundaries of global power spheres.

3 January 2026, early morning: Donald Trump reports on Truth Social an operation in Caracas. Reuters covers a large-scale US operation, explosions in several regions, and the claim that Maduro has been taken out of the country. In Venezuela, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez demands proof of life and speaks of an attack on sovereignty. While Washington promotes the success, Moscow, Beijing, and the region reassess their options.

1. Moscow
For Wladimir Putin, today is a strategic humiliation. For years, Venezuela has been Russia's most important foothold in the Western Hemisphere.

The Reaction: The Russian Foreign Ministry responded with strong rhetoric, calling it "armed aggression."

The Analysis: Behind the loud words lies a strategic impotence. Moscow is militarily tied up in Ukraine; projecting force across the Atlantic to save Maduro was never realistic. The Kremlin is left with only diplomacy and protest in the UN Security Council. Moscow not only loses an ally but also inadvertently demonstrates the limits of its security guarantees.

2. Beijing: The Dragon Recalculates
The reaction from China is quite different. Beijing is Venezuela's largest creditor and responds much more cautiously.

The Reaction: Chinese state media condemn the attack as interference, but the tone remains calculated.

The Analysis: China acts purely pragmatically. Beijing knows that the Venezuelan economy under Maduro was a bottomless pit. From Beijing's perspective, what ultimately matters is the ability to deliver and repay loans. Analysts believe China will try to adapt to the new realities to secure its investments in the energy sector rather than seek military confrontation.

3. Monroe Doctrine 2.0: The Return of the Backyard
The most important signal of this operation goes to the rest of the world. Donald Trump has effectively reactivated the "Monroe Doctrine" of the 19th century with modern military force.

The Message is Clear: Latin America is viewed as an exclusive sphere of influence for the USA. The experiment of securing itself through alliances with systemic rivals of the USA has failed in Caracas.

4. Black Gold: Long Road Instead of Quick Flooding
In addition to diplomacy, the stock markets react immediately. However, hopes for quickly falling oil prices due to a "flood" from Venezuela are premature.

The Current State: The Venezuelan oil infrastructure is dilapidated due to years of mismanagement and lack of investment. Restoring production to previous levels will take years, not weeks.

The Perspective: US companies like Chevron, which are already operating in the country under special licenses (OFAC), are ready. However, energy experts warn against euphoria: in the short term, uncertainty is likely to cause volatility. In the long term, though, a more stable Venezuela under US influence could weaken OPEC's power – a scenario that could ease the market in the long run.

Analysis: A New Toughness
The world woke up this morning to a new reality. The USA has demonstrated that it is ready to enforce red lines militarily. For Maduro's allies, this is a shock; for Moscow, a loss of prestige; and for China, a cold cost-benefit analysis that must be reassessed today.

Note: This article is analysis and opinion. It is based on publicly available reports and statements, including Reuters and Trump's post on Truth Social; the situation is constantly evolving.

"What happened to Maduro can happen to anyone," said Donald Trump at a press conference after the operation in Venezuela.

Key points:

— The USA benefits from the conflict in Ukraine. I thought it would be a simple conflict, but I couldn't reconcile the parties.

— The arrest of Maduro with Putin was not discussed, and I do not expect complications in relations with the RF due to Venezuela.

— The USA intends to help the people of Cuba.

— Venezuela has strengthened its ties with foreign opponents of the USA and acquired weapons.

— The special unit had the right to eliminate Maduro while he was hiding in a bunker. It was a unique operation.

— The American army is ready to take stronger action against Venezuela if necessary, but that will probably not be required.

— American oil companies will return to Venezuela to restore the infrastructure.

— The US fleet will remain in its positions until Washington's interests are fully satisfied. Maduro cannot be the head of state.

❗️The Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, states that the country will never become a colony of another nation:

"The only legitimate president of Venezuela is Nicolás Maduro."

It is noteworthy that Donald Trump, during his recent press conference and in a newly published interview with the New York Post, emphasized that the American administration will not rely on known Venezuelan opposition politicians, including Machado, who was recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump stated in the interview that "American troops will not be sent to Venezuela if Vice President Delcy Rodríguez does what Washington wants."

The newly elected mayor of New York has surprisingly attacked Trump :

“A unilateral attack on a sovereign state is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.”

The mayor of New York, Zokhran Mamdani, called the operation in Venezuela “an outrageous attempt at regime change.”

“This morning I was informed that American forces have arrested the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, as well as about their planned detention here in New York under federal authority. A unilateral attack on a sovereign state is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. This outrageous attempt at regime change affects not only those abroad; it has direct consequences for the residents of New York, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans for whom this city has become a home. My focus is on their safety and the safety of every New Yorker. My administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue appropriate directives.”

🇩🇪 Sahra Wagenknecht:

The USA is bombing Venezuela and has kidnapped President Maduro. Where is the outcry from the federal government?

This attack is an unprovoked violation of international law and a blatant act of aggression! Regardless of one's stance on the Venezuelan government: It is clear that the USA is not concerned with the "fight against drugs," but rather aims to install a puppet government through regime change to seize the resources of the world's richest oil country in a Wild West manner. The coalition should immediately summon the US ambassador in Berlin. If the federal government does not strongly condemn this state terrorism and reject it with all diplomatic means, it is the final proof of their blatant double standards!

The attacks by the USA on Venezuela call into question the argument that Russia should not have interfered in Ukraine's affairs, says former chairman of the Munich Security Conference Wolfgang Ischinger.

"If the US intervenes in Venezuela now - without a UN mandate - the argument that Russia should not have intervened in Ukraine without invoking the UN Security Council loses its political and international legal value - or?" asked Ischinger.

Ischinger previously served as a mediator for the OSCE, which was involved in negotiations between Kyiv and the eastern regions in 2014.
