04.01.2026 ⇢ The Day Maduro Arrived in Brooklyn
⌨Russian editorial priorities on January 4th focused on the physical arrival of Nicolás Maduro in U.S. custody following the previous day's intervention. Morning coverage across state-aligned and independent outlets concentrated on the visual details of his transfer to a federal detention facility in Brooklyn, frequently highlighting the detail of him being led off the plane with a bag over his head. By midday, reports shifted toward the high casualty count of the operation—cited at 80 deaths— and the emergence of Marco Rubio as the projected administrator of the territory.
Parallel to the Venezuelan narrative, editors emphasized a massive Ukrainian drone offensive against Moscow in the afternoon, reporting the interception of over 250 UAVs. By evening, the media linked these fronts through statements by Dmitry Medvedev, who framed the Caracas operation as a template for potential U.S. actions in Kyiv, while also reporting on Donald Trump’s newfound interest in acquiring Greenland.
