After recent events in Venezuela, Russian propagandists expressed deep concern, condemning US intervention as a breach of international law. Russian officials and state media emphasized their shock and organized limited protests in Russia against American actions.
Venezuela, a longstanding ally of Russia and recipient of its support, has recently seen Moscow’s influence wane. This has sparked debate in Russian media over the decline of the country’s global prestige. Meanwhile, the United States is signaling new strategic interests, including political or economic involvement in Greenland, a Danish territory.
US officials defend their interest in Greenland with arguments of national security and access to resources. Trump adviser Steve Miller stressed that the question is not about military intervention but about the legal basis for Denmark’s claim over Greenland.
These developments have embarrassed Russian authorities, while Western politicians react with irony. The US Secretary of Defense noted the ineffective performance of Russian air defense systems after the Caracas incident.
The article also raises issues of security guarantees for Ukraine, associated with the prior presence of US companies in the country. The contrasting external strategies of the US and Russia highlight the frequent disregard of international law in contemporary global affairs.
Against this background of global instability, the author urges continued support for Ukraine’s defense forces, emphasizing the importance of collective effort for victory.
