Helping Ukraine is not just a matter of goodwill. It is in our interest, it is a consensus among Europeans, and it concerns our security. French President Emmanuel Macron argued this Friday that cutting financial support to Ukraine, as proposed by Marine Le Pen, the nationalist right presidential candidate, would be equivalent to "throwing away the security" of Europe and the French. #GuerraNaUcrânia #EmmanuelMacron #ApoioAEuropa (translated)

I want to be very clear: if these contracts that are being signed comply with Venezuelan law, they will be respected. Despite her criticisms, Machado assured that she will respect the oil agreements signed if they comply with Venezuelan legislation. People demand justice, and that is absolutely legitimate. In an interview published by The New York Times, Machado, who is not allowed to return to Venezuela, assured that she will return to the country "sooner than you think" to mobilize her supporters ahead of future elections. Machado, who won the opposition primaries in 2023 and supported the candidacy of Edmundo González Urrutia in the 2024 presidential elections, claimed that she remains convinced that Washington wants a democratic transition. #Venezuela #MaríaCorinaMachado #EleccionesLibres (translated)

Emmanuel Rincón stated that the Rodríguez brothers had been collaborating with U.S. justice since before the capture of Nicolás Maduro and claimed that Delcy Rodríguez had traveled to Margarita hours before dawn on January 3. He added that if they handed over all the criminals and facilitated a democratic transition, they could obtain impunity, something that, according to him, Venezuelans would have to accept. Rincón pointed out that the priority should be to regain freedom and democracy and to rebuild Venezuela, with presidential elections in 2027 as the goal. https://t.co/Wn8mT0Y9jA #Venezuela #Democracia #Libertad (translated)

Fonteles also stated that the Public Security PEC should be voted on that day and that the National Congress would discuss measures related to individual microentrepreneurs (MEIs). He urged people to talk to others about Lula's projects and proposals. #Lula13 #Eleições2024 #Democracia (translated)

Emmanuel Rincón described Jorge Rodríguez's removal from the sanctions list as "natural," attributing it to his notable cooperation with U.S. authorities. He said that there was still a long way to go before discussing a transition in Venezuela and questioned the timing of the decision. He also asserted that several Chavistas were seeking impunity by collaborating with that process and handing over other individuals whom he described as criminals, a practice that he claimed was not atypical in the U.S. justice system. Rincón stated that he would accept Rodríguez and others ending up in exile and unpunished if it allowed for the recovery of the country, freedom, and democracy. He added that the goal for Venezuelans should be to call presidential elections in 2027 and finalize the transition. #Venezuela #Transición #Democracia (translated)

Nacho Montes de Oca stated that Elon Musk had limited the speed of Starlink terminals in motion without prior notice, which he wrote affected the military service StarShield and Ukrainian drone forces. He argued that the terminals lost connection when exceeding 160 km/h and that later reports indicated a threshold of 100 km/h. He also pointed out that sources from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had confirmed signal interruptions. Montes de Oca claimed that the measure could facilitate a Russian offensive and harm both Ukrainian attacks against Russian logistics and the logistical coordination and advance of Ukrainian units. He described it as help to Putin and stated that it came at the worst time for the performance of the Russian army. The author cited Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhii Beskrestnov, who confirmed that "several missions were interrupted" due to the lack of guarantees. He also noted that former Defense Ministry advisor Serhii Sternenko had suggested that the measure was in response to a request from the Donald Trump administration. Montes de Oca linked that possibility to pressures from Washington for Kiev to stop attacks on Russian refineries and to a message from Musk in which, according to the author, he said he would join the White House plan. #Starlink #Ucrania #Putin (translated)
