1/ Russian warbloggers are furious and chagrined that the US has done to Maduro and Venezuela what their country has failed to do over four years to Zelenskyy and Ukraine. They say it shows Russia's weakness and condemn the Venezuelans for failing to fight. ⬇️

Russian troops are already pushing into the next village after capturing Huliaipole—and Ukrainian commanders are blaming the outnumbered defenders.
