– This person ordered the aircraft to take to the skies. This person ordered 🇺🇦 brigades to advance to combat lines. This person took an incredible risk. Because he wildly exceeded his authority. That person was the then-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
Why Venezuela Fell Within Hours, But Ukraine Did Not?

Rodriguez's main messages were that Maduro is still President of Venezuela, and that the government will not yield to the US' attempt to take over its oil resources.
Again, no indication at all that she's collaborating with Washington, which Trump indicated was the case earlier today.

Storm-1516 is Russia's big information war project targeting Europe. Disinformation, lies, fake websites, forged documentaries and AI-generated deepfakes... sounds scary, right?
So far, this massively funded project has mostly produced a lot of noise with minimal impact.
