05.01.2026 ⇢ The Day Maduro Pleaded Not Guilty in Manhattan
⌨Russian editorial priority on January 5th centered on the judicial processing of Nicolas Maduro following his arrival in New York. Early morning coverage tracked his transfer from a Brooklyn detention center to the federal courthouse in Manhattan under heavy armed guard. By midday, state-aligned outlets like TASS and RIA Novosti synchronized their reporting on the courtroom optics, specifically noting that Maduro appeared without handcuffs but in leg irons. Editors highlighted his declaration of innocence and his self-identification as a "prisoner of war" and the legitimate president of Venezuela.
Throughout the afternoon, the narrative expanded to include Russian diplomatic condemnation, with Vasily Nebenzya labeling the U.S. operation as "international brigandage." Concurrently, media attention shifted toward Donald Trump’s rhetoric regarding the Western Hemisphere, reporting his threats against the Colombian presidency and his dismissive stance toward the Ukrainian strike on Putin’s Valdai residence. By evening, editors emphasized the appointment of a new SBU head in Kyiv and Russia's retaliatory entry bans against 28 Canadian citizens.
