Zelensky has announced a sweeping overhaul of Ukraine’s government and security sector. “There will be rotations for everyone,” he said, confirming that changes have already begun with the Cabinet and will expand to ministries, the SBU, and eventually the Armed Forces.

“Some have been in place too long. It’s time for renewal.”

On the question regarding opposition leader María Corina Machado Trump responded:

„I think it would be tough for her to be the leader. She doesn’t have the support or the respect within the country.“

What a slap for Machado. It appears that different plans have been made.

Journalist asking Trump about Putin and Venezuela. Trump's response:

"I didn't talk about Maduro. I'm not thrilled with Putin. So many were killed. (...) Many people were killed in Kyiv. (...)"

Today is the 6th anniversary of Qasem Soleimani death, the leader of the Iranian Quds forces. His vehicle was struck by an US missile in Baghdad, Iraq, 6 years ago.

It is also the 36th anniversary of Manuel Noriega's capture, the strongman of Panama. Coincidentally, also on charges of drug trafficking and more.

Maduro is in good company.

Not a single US soldier died during the operation to extract Maduro, not even one piece of hardware was lost. One aerial vehicle, possibly a helicopter, was damaged, but all of them returned home.

Absolutely marvelous and professional operation by US forces.

President Zelensky shared early results from today’s talks with national security advisors from partner countries, saying Ukraine is advancing along three key tracks: security guarantees, reconstruction, and a solid framework for real, lasting peace.

He thanked allies from Europe, Canada, the EU, NATO, and the U.S. for their support, emphasizing that any outcome must be effective, dignified, and ensure peace for decades. Preparations are underway for follow-up meetings in Europe next week.

#Hungary – citing “national security,” Orbán’s government denied public information request by journalist Szabolcs Panyi’s for agreements signed with Maduro in #Venezuela (including oil & gas) 2 years ago.

Today’s mentions of FM Péter Szijjártó’s meeting with #Maduro are nowhere to be found on the #Hungary government website. Seems like Maduro bet on a wrong horse…

Meanwhile Orbán commented on today’s USA attack on #Venezuela:

“It’s not clear who attacked whom,” Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán said today at a presser.

Oh wait, no - he said that about #Russia vs #Ukraine in December, my mistake 😂

Trump has described the capture of Nicolás Maduro as a historic military operation, calling it a strike unseen since World War II. “It was a powerful assault on a fortified military complex in central Caracas to bring a criminal dictator to justice,” he said.

The mission, carried out in near-total darkness using advanced U.S. technologies, neutralized Venezuela’s military capabilities. “They were waiting for us, fully armed. They knew we had ships off their coast. But they were overrun, fast.”

President Trump just now:

"We are prepared for a second wave (attack against Venezuela), a much bigger attack, if we needed to do so."

Today’s #TASS statement:

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that it will make a statement on Venezuela in the near future.

Maria Zakharova bingo:

• ‘a drastic violation of sacred international law’
• ‘the US action only confirms that international law does not work’
• ‘we call on the UN to condemn the illegal invasion’
• ‘no no no, not that one! this one!’
• ‘We will use all means to support our ally’
• ‘For starters, we can take Maduro in’
• ‘Oreshnik Oreshnik Poseidon Sartmat corpses explosions nuclear war Dr Strangelove corpses corpses’
• ‘Borscht is a traditional Russian dish’

It goes without saying that the Russian-made air defense assets around Caracas, Venezuela, completely failed to do their job.

Neither the 9K317M2 Buk-M2E - pictured here - nor the S-300VM respectively Pantsir-S1 could stop the US operation and were neutralized by US forces.

Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado, who was awarded the latested Peace Nobel Prize, hails the arrest of Maduro and calls for recognition of Edmundo González Urrutia as President of Venezuela. The army of Venezuela should recognize him as Commander-in-Chief.

In 2024 after the latest elections in Venezuela, the USA has recognized Edmundo González Urrutia as President of Venezuela. The Maduro regime rebuffed that statement.

According to Reuters Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has escaped to Moscow, Russia.

How poetic.

🇺🇦 President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested to appoint Denys Shmyhal, the country's defense minister and ex-prime minister, to lead #Ukraine's Energy Ministry.

The move follows a major political reshuffle, with a number of high-ranking officials being reassigned to different government jobs.
