US President Donald Trump has announced that the US will continue to manage Venezuela until it can ensure a "safe, orderly, and peaceful transition of power."

US President Donald Trump said he is "not thrilled" with Russian leader Vladimir Putin because he "kills too many people."

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the reaction of military commanders who are calling for Vasyl Maliuk to remain in his position as head of the Security Service of Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced rotations of leaders in the security and defence sector. However, there is no talk of replacing Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi at this time.

The US military operation against Venezuela has been completed. The country's leader, Nicolas Maduro, has been detained and is currently under the control of the US authorities.

The likely dismissal of SSU head Vasyl Maliuk does not fit in with the logic of strengthening the country's defense capabilities.

People's Deputy, Secretary of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Intelligence Roman Kostenko spoke out against the dismissal of Vasyl Maliuk from the post of head of the Security Service of Ukraine, stressing that as of now there is no alternative to him.
