❗️🔴 And a new war starts on the third day of 2026 as US seems to carry out attacks on military bases in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela
Multiple media outlets and telegram channels just reported that locals witnessed several explosions early Saturday in Caracas, and reported that some areas of the city were without electricity.
The first blast was recorded at approximately 1.50am local time (0.50aET).
US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned that the US is preparing to take new action against alleged drug trafficking networks in Venezuela and that strikes on land “will begin soon”

🔴❗️In the first minutes of 2026, Ukraine attacked a cafe in Khorly village in Russia-controlled part of Kherson region, killing 24 people and injuring 50 more. Vladimir Saldo, the governor of Kherson Region, shared the news, saying the attack took place…
🔴 The death toll in the New Year attack on Khorly in Russia-controlled Kherson region rose to 28 on Friday
Two children were killed in the attack and five additional minors were among the injured, the Investigative Committee said in a statement on Friday.
At least 100 civilians, including guests and staff, had been inside the venue when the “terrorist act” took place, the statement read.
As expected, international media reported the attack as “alleged” by Moscow. Kyiv officially denied the attacks, although local media outlets now report, citing sources, that the attack was carried out on “legitimate military targets” such as police and security officers

🔴 Russian Foreign Ministry commented on US strikes in Venezuela
The “act of armed aggression”against Venezuela “causes deep concern and condemnation”, the ministry said.
“The pretexts used to justify such actions are untenable. Ideologized hostility prevailed over business pragmatism, willingness to build relationships of trust and predictability.
In the current situation, it is important, first of all, to prevent further escalation, to set ourselves up to find a way out of the situation through dialogue. We believe that all partners who may have complaints against each other should look for ways to solve problems through dialogue solutions. We are ready to support them in this.”
“Latin America must remain a zone of peace, as it declared itself in 2014. And Venezuela should be guaranteed the right to determine its own fate without any destructive, especially military intervention from outside.
We reaffirm our solidarity with the Venezuelan people and support for the course of their Bolivarian leadership aimed at protecting the national interests and sovereignty of the country.”

🗓️🔴🔥 Monday in a few pics
🔺Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores pleaded not guilty in a New York court hearing on Monday.
Both had been delivered to the federal courthouse in Manhattan for arraignment following their abduction from Caracas by US special forces.
🔺Maduro is facing charges on four counts, including “narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States.”
🔺 The next hearing in the Maduro case is scheduled for March 17
Delcy Rodriguez was sworn in as Venezuela's interim president. Trump told reporters Saturday that Rodríguez had been “sworn in” as president and stood “willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again.” Rodríguez has sent mixed signals, however, insisting that Maduro remains Venezuela’s “only president,” while also pledging to “collaborate” with the Trump administration.
🔺US actions in Venezuela may intensify instability in Venezuela, affect the broader Latin American region and set a dangerous precedent for international relations, UN chief Antonio Guterres warned on Monday
🔺Moscow resolutely condemns the US military aggression against Venezuela and calls for Maduro’s immediate release, Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya told the UNSC meeting
🔺The United Nations is currently trying to collect more information about those killed in the US military operation in Venezuela, the UN chief’s spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said at a news briefing. The New York Times earlier put the death toll from the US operation in Caracas at around 80.
🔺 The international community recognized the US attack against the country as contradicting the international law, Foreign Minister of Venezuela Yvan Gil Pinto said on Monday Venezuela presents to the UN Security Council a firm denunciation of the illegal military aggression and the violation of our sovereignty. We count on morality, dignity, reason, and truth as our allies in this struggle.
🔺President Donald Trump on Sunday told journos on board Air Force One that Cuba’s government could soon collapse and Colombia’s president should be worried to - in a stark warning that underscored his administration’s increasingly aggressive posture toward leftist governments across Latin America. Not just that, he reiterated his desire to annex Greenland as well.
🔺US Administration officials have told top US oil executives in recent weeks that if they want compensation for their rigs, pipelines and other seized property in Venezuela- then they must be prepared to go back into the country now and invest heavily in reviving its shattered petroleum industry, two people familiar with the administration’s outreach told POLITICO. The outlook for Venezuela’s shattered oil infrastructure is one of the major questions following the US military action. Many still argue oil is the tip of the iceberg.
