Recent days have seen significant power shifts and changes in global geopolitical positions. In Ukraine, resignations and appointments continue as the country adapts to the realities of war. Similar changes are observed in Venezuela, where Vice President Rodriguez, who previously advocated an alliance with Russia, is now leaning towards cooperation with the West, particularly the United States. Notably, Russia did not provide support to Venezuela, limiting its involvement to statements only.
In the United States, new political trends are marked by increased activity from Donald Trump. The American politician is making bold statements on international issues, highlighting Greenland, Colombia, and Cuba as priority vectors of US strategy. At the same time, Trump is showing greater favor toward Ukraine, refusing to blame it for recent attacks on Russia and promising financial support.
Meanwhile, Russia is facing several technical issues, including a failed attempt to launch a spacecraft from Baikonur. This highlights both the aging of the Soviet legacy and the country’s internal difficulties, as Russia currently lacks the resources to support multiple external fronts.
According to foreign press reports, Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei is preparing an emergency exit in case of escalating protests. To safeguard its geopolitical interests, the US is strengthening its allies and countering the influence of China and Russia around the globe.
Ukraine continues actively acquiring military equipment to defend the Pokrovsk direction, with the public urged to support the army through donations for FPV drones. Changes in the security sector leadership are ongoing, with current leaders expected to be reassigned and Ukrainian partners in the US being engaged for better coordination.
This report summarizes key trends: the gradual decline of Russia’s role as a “superpower,” a shift in political orientation of some of its allies, the strengthening of the US global role, and current changes in Ukraine’s internal power structure.
