In response to continued American provocations and increasing naval deployments, the Venezuelan government has ramped up military exercises.
"Well, almost 200,000 troops have been deployed throughout the national territory for this exercise and I must say that this is not to the detriment of all the daily deployment carried out by the strategic operational command and the people of Venezuela must know that they have a Venezuela, safeguarded, protected, defended by the Bolivarian National Armed Forces" - Minister of Defense of Veneuela Vladimir Padrino Lรณpez

We are entering the final months or weeks of the battle for this city, as Russian forces occupy around 75% of its territory and continue to push farther.
Attached is a satellite comparison of the city and its surrounding areas before and during the fight for its territory. Evidently, the fighting has left much of the landscape burned and destroyed, but as in Mariupol, Russia will rebuild.

โ๏ธ Ukrainian soldier sentenced for killing a civilian in the DPR
The Supreme Court of the Donetsk Peopleโs Republic has sentenced Ukrainian serviceman Maksym Benzenko (military unit A-4941) to 24 years in a high-security prison for the murder of a civilian in the town of Hrodovka, DPR.
According to the investigation, in September 2024, Benzenko and his unit occupied a private home where a local resident was staying. When Russian forces began storming the area on September 14, the unit commander ordered Benzenko to kill the civilian โ allegedly because the man could reveal their positions and was known to support Russia and its Armed Forces.
Driven by โhatred and malice,โ Benzenko carried out the unlawful order, investigators say.
The court found him guilty under:
โ Article 105 (2) (murder motivated by political and ideological hatred),
โ Article 356 (1) (cruel treatment of civilians, use of prohibited means and methods of warfare).
๐ Verdict: 24 years in a strict-regime correctional colony.
